Oby E, Degenhart A, Grigsby E, Motiwala A, McClain N, Marino P, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2025 Jan; 28(2):383-393. PMID: 39825141
The manner in which neural activity unfolds over time is thought to be central to sensory, motor and cognitive functions in the brain. Network models have long posited that the...

Smoulder A, Marino P, Oby E, Snyder S, Miyata H, Pavlovsky N, et al.
Neuron . 2024 Sep; 112(20):3424-3433.e8. PMID: 39270654
Incentives tend to drive improvements in performance. But when incentives get too high, we can "choke under pressure" and underperform right when it matters most. What neural processes might lead...
3.
Marino P, Bahureksa L, Fisac C, Oby E, Smoulder A, Motiwala A, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Aug; PMID: 39185208
To generate movements, the brain must combine information about movement goal and body posture. Motor cortex (M1) is a key node for the convergence of these information streams. How are...

Losey D, Hennig J, Oby E, Golub M, Sadtler P, Quick K, et al.
Curr Biol . 2024 Mar; 34(7):1519-1531.e4. PMID: 38531360
How are we able to learn new behaviors without disrupting previously learned ones? To understand how the brain achieves this, we used a brain-computer interface (BCI) learning paradigm, which enables...

Smoulder A, Marino P, Oby E, Snyder S, Miyata H, Pavlovsky N, et al.
bioRxiv . 2023 Apr; PMID: 37090659
One-sentence Summary: In response to exceptionally large reward cues, animals can "choke under pressure", and this corresponds to a collapse in the neural information about upcoming movements.

Hennig J, Oby E, Losey D, Batista A, Yu B, Chase S
Neuron . 2021 Oct; 109(23):3720-3735. PMID: 34648749
How do changes in the brain lead to learning? To answer this question, consider an artificial neural network (ANN), where learning proceeds by optimizing a given objective or cost function....

Hennig J, Oby E, Golub M, Bahureksa L, Sadtler P, Quick K, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2021 Mar; 24(5):727-736. PMID: 33782622
Internal states such as arousal, attention and motivation modulate brain-wide neural activity, but how these processes interact with learning is not well understood. During learning, the brain modifies its neural...

Degenhart A, Bishop W, Oby E, Tyler-Kabara E, Chase S, Batista A, et al.
Nat Biomed Eng . 2020 Apr; 4(7):672-685. PMID: 32313100
The instability of neural recordings can render clinical brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) uncontrollable. Here, we show that the alignment of low-dimensional neural manifolds (low-dimensional spaces that describe specific correlation patterns between...

Oby E, Golub M, Hennig J, Degenhart A, Tyler-Kabara E, Yu B, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2019 Jun; 116(30):15210-15215. PMID: 31182595
Learning has been associated with changes in the brain at every level of organization. However, it remains difficult to establish a causal link between specific changes in the brain and...
