Animals from flying insects to running humans thrive in uncertain and noisy environments. They smoothly navigate, swiftly track targets and escape predators because their sensorimotor systems are precisely fine-tuned for these tasks. Millisecond-precise spike timing codes, prevalent in both sensory and motor systems, can prompt large changes in muscle forces especially when several muscles coordinate to control a biomechanical action. Such coordinated spike timing changes, modulated by task-relevant sensory encoding over long timescales, can significantly contribute to the effectiveness of mot
