The paper investigates how motor cortex encodes wrist and finger movements, finding shared neural signals for flexion-extension across digits and wrist, and demonstrating improved BCI control by accounting for these constraints.

The paper identifies distinct neural modes in the sensorimotor cortex that encode grasp force and timing during isometric grasps in tetraplegic individuals.

The paper trains an autoregressive Transformer on neural spiking data to decode motor behavior, showing broad utility across tasks but highlighting limitations in scaling.

The paper maps sensorimotor integration in the trunk system, finding strong connections between trunk motor cortex and hindlimb sensory information for postural control.
