Summary
Learning is central to both human life and artificial intelligence. People learn to move, communicate, reason, and recover skills after injury, yet how the brain achieves this learning remains poorly understood. This project studies how neurons in the brain change their coordinated firing activity during learning and how that knowledge can be used to guide learning to proceed faster and more effectively. The work focuses on the primary motor cortex, a brain region involved in the control and learning of movement. The project will investigate how neural circuits change over hours versus days of
