What the basal ganglia do is an oft-asked question; answers range from the selection of actions to the specification of movement to the estimation of time. Here I argue that \emph{how} the basal ganglia do what they do is a less-asked but equally imp... Read More about The computational bottleneck of basal ganglia output (and what to do about it).

Motor cortex latent dynamics encode spatial and temporal arm movement parameters independently. (2024)
Journal Article
Colins Rodriguez, A., Perich, M. G., Miller, L., & Humphries, M. D. (2024). Motor cortex latent dynamics encode spatial and temporal arm movement parameters independently. Journal of Neuroscience, 44(35), Article e1777232024. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1777-23.2024

The fluid movement of an arm requires multiple spatiotemporal parameters to be set independently. Recent studies have argued that arm movements are generated by the collective dynamics of neurons in motor cortex. An untested prediction of this hypoth...

Tracking subjects' strategies in behavioural choice experiments at trial resolution. (2024)
Journal Article
Maggi, S., Hock, R. M., O'Neill, M., Buckley, M. J., Moran, P. M., Bast, T., Sami, M., & Humphries, M. D. (2024). Tracking subjects' strategies in behavioural choice experiments at trial resolution. eLife, 13, Article e86491. https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.86491

Investigating how, when, and what subjects learn during decision-making tasks requires tracking their choice strategies on a trial-by-trial basis. Here we present a simple but effective probabilistic approach to tracking choice strategies at trial re...
