Motor primitives in vertebrates and invertebrates. (2005, background): “movement direction and velocity or force), analyses of both single neurons and neural assemblies have provided evidence for cortical coding also of more global features, such as a segment geometrical shape [57] or the order of the segments within the sequence [14,58].”
Adaptive Resonance Theory: How a brain learns to consciously attend, learn, and recognize a changing world (2013, background): “Such a cell may respond to a specific target presented in a specific ordinal position (Averbeck et al., 2003a; Funahashi, Inoue, & Kubota, 1997; Inoue & Mikami, 2006). Positional theories (e.g., Burgess (1995), Burgess and Hitch (1992), and Henson (1998)) posit that positional information is explici”
Coding and use of tactile signals from the fingertips in object manipulation tasks (2009, background): “Although there is evidence in monkeys that the prefrontal cortex plays a part in assembling sequences of action-phase controllers for completing manual task”
