Toward a new theory of motor synergies. (2007, background): “Studies of cortical neuronal populations have revealed patterns of activity related to performance variables such as the spatial trajectory of the effector's endpoint or the force vector applied by an endeffector (Georgopoulos et al., 1982; Schwartz, 1993; Coltz et al., 1999; Cisek & Kalaska, 2005).”
Long-term stability of cortical population dynamics underlying consistent behavior (2020, neutral): “This window started after the putative visual response elicited by the target presentation 12,55 , and it was advantageous because it included mostly preparatory activity, but also some of the dynamics of the transition from preparation to movement.”
Navigating the Affordance Landscape: Feedback Control as a Process Model of Behavior and Cognition. (2016, neutral): “Hierarchical Affordance Competition The affordance competition hypothesis [13,18,32] suggests that during interactive behavior, the brain simultaneously specifies the set of desirable actions currently available in its environment (‘affordances’), and decides what to do through a competition between”
