DESCRIPTION:Brain-computer interfaces for basic science\n\nByron Yu\, Carne
 gie Mellon University\n	Tuesday March 7\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcgill

 ate neural activity into movements of a computer cursor or robotic limb. B
 CIs are known for their ability to assist paralyzed patients. A lesser kno
 wn\, but increasingly important\, use of BCIs is their ability to further 
 our basic scientific understanding of brain function. In particular\, BCIs
  are providing insights into the neural mechanisms underlying sensorimotor
  control that are currently difficult to obtain using limb movements. In t
 his talk\, I will demonstrate how a BCI can be leveraged to study how the 
 brain learns. Specifically\, I will address why learning some tasks is eas
 ier than others\, as well as how populations of neurons change their activ
 ity in concert during learning.\n
