This paper demonstrates that using UMAP improves spike sorting performance, efficiency, and robustness in both synthetic and experimental data.

This study examines how primate ventral premotor cortex processes time during interval comparison and categorization tasks, revealing distinct neural dynamics for each task.

The paper shows that the second somatosensory cortex segregates sensory and transformed signals into orthogonal subspaces during a task, with transformed encoding being context-dependent.

This study examines how thalamocortical interactions shape neural variability during stimulus perception in monkeys, revealing distinct dynamics across brain regions.

The paper investigates whether neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex encode tactile and acoustic stimuli during a bimodal detection task, finding they are unimodal and functionally distinct.

This study identifies a categorical decision signal in dorsal premotor cortex (DPC) during a vibrotactile categorization task, showing sustained activity across task phases and consistent responses across stimulus attributes.

The paper identifies that secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) neurons exhibit both invariant sensory responses and perceptual correlates, suggesting S2 is critical for converting touch into perception.

The paper examines directional interactions between somatosensory thalamo-cortical circuits during tactile perception in monkeys, finding increased feedforward activity during stimulus presence and bidirectional interactions with high stimulus amplitude.
