Neuron firings decoded into patterns and graphed

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Neuron firings decoded into patterns and graphed

Neuron firings were mathematically decoded and graphed into patterns, such that researchers were able to match the firings of populations of neurons behind arm movements to the actual bodily movements in animal models. The frequency of neuron firings denoted in the red bar does not visually match the arm movements the firings cause. Decoding was necessary to make the connection.
