The sensorimotor cortex plays a fundamental role for animals and humans to navigate and act in complex environments. In conventional experimental approaches animals perform highly trained tasks in a trial-repetitive manner with their movements limited to ensure reproducibility of the same or similar trial conditions. These conditions limit the study of ecologically relevant foraging behavior, particularly those involving full-body movements. However, recording from freely moving animals poses significant challenges for computational analysis due to the uniqueness of each trial and the complex
