In a significant departure from earlier models, neural engineers and neuroscientists have developed a new model for the brain activity underlying arm movements. Motor neurons do not represent external ...

A rhythm is a pattern of long and short sounds. Rhythm is all around us in the cackle of kookaburras, the breaking of ocean waves, and the patterns of our own speech. This is the first in a series of ...
