In this video video we are exploring a fascinating paper which revealed the role of biological constraints on what patterns of neural dynamics the brain and cannot learn. Link to the paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-024-01845-7 A small correction: I didn't mention in this in the video, but the dimensionality-reduction process for BCI was two-stage. First, the source 90D neural activity was non-linearly projected to 10 using Factor analysis, and only after that 2D projections of this 10D space were shown as cursor positions. It doesn't change the interpretation of the result, just wanted to be more technically correct about the methods.
