Topic: center-out reaching tasks

One of the central questions in motor neuroscience is how the population of motor cortical neurons control voluntary movement. Much of our current understanding of this question is based on so-called center-out reaching tasks that involve reaching from a single start location to various spatial targets --- a situation that confounds reach direction with limb posture at the spatial target. Because of this confound, previous studies lack the required condition variability to probe the geometry of neural dynamics (NDs) for movements across different postures and extents. To address this confound,
