Recent investigations into the coordinated activity of neuronal populations in motor circuits have revealed low-dimensional dynamical features hypothesized to support the generation of patterned motor output. However, such studies have typically relied on vast simplifications - trial-averaging, heavy smoothing - and are often far removed from muscle activity, the true output of the motor system. Thus, it is unclear whether the uncovered dynamical features are primarily useful for intuition-building, or reflect computational mechanisms that operate at the temporal precision of motor control.
