How does the motor cortex (MC) achieve generalizable and purposeful movements from the complex non-linear musculoskeletal system? This understanding can help us uncover how does the cortical activity relates to the movement. To elucidate this relationship, we build a model of the MC with realistic properties. To mimic the recurrent connections between cortical neurons, we use recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to model the MC. The MC model receives sensory feedback and delivers muscle excitations to anatomically accurate musculoskeletal models to produce experimentally observed movements. The se
