cursor on a computer screen by generating particular patterns of activity in the primary motor cortex. The activity of individual neurons was recorded using a multielectrode array, and the


authors could determine the set of activity patterns that would be required to drive cursor movement (that is, the control space). > the existing properties of a network place constraints
