How do spatiotemporal patterns of spiking activity influence the computations in local and remotely-connected neural populations? Which features of local field potentials reflect these computations? Can we track changes in these neural dynamics with learning?
Studying changes in neural activity across neural ensembles in the behaving primate brain requires specialized tools and techniques. We have developed several indwelling recording solutions that have allowed us to sample multiple areas with linear arrays. We’ve used these arrays with closed-loop stimulation and with wireless recording in freely-behaving macaques.
