How does the motor cortex achieve generalizable and purposeful movements from the complex, nonlinear musculoskeletal system? ​​Previous research in this field has focused on developing dimensionality reduction and modeling techniques to elucidate the structure in high-dimensional neural activity, and relate this directly to kinematic outcomes. However, these models typically do not consider the biophysical underpinnings of the musculoskeletal system, nor do they allow us to understand the role of sensory feedback in motor control. These models thus fail to elucidate the computational role of n
