This paper develops a theory explaining BCI learning through low-dimensional control strategies, validated with experimental data.

The paper shows that learning a new BCI map alters neural activity in a way that preserves performance on a familiar map, suggesting a mechanism for learning multiple motor behaviors without interference.

The paper investigates how internal states like arousal affect neural engagement during learning in non-human primates using a BCI paradigm, finding that abrupt changes in engagement influence learning speed for different task goals.
