Finally, MotorNet provides a framework that can easily be expanded to more complex control scenarios. The only limit is your imagination!
New, complex tasks can be implemented, trained, and visualized quickly, speeding up the research cycle and providing tools that can be used by other researchers in the community
In the preprint, we lay out the structure of the toolbox, show a few examples of some classic motor control tasks, and replications of some of our favourite modeling work
We’ve been doing experiments to study motor control of the arm by recording surface EMG (black rectangles) and the spiking of individual motor units using 32 channel injectable arrays (wire leading into the skin) shown here in my bicep and deltoid.
What a day! Played a concert, listened to the historic Hikaru vs Magnus final while driving to Toronto, finished off with @punchbrothers 😍
Hello Mastodon peeps 👋! This is what it looks like across hundreds of neurons in prefrontal cortex when a monkey starts dozing off.
