Birck Seminar Series: Dynamic Delays and Subspaces Sculpt Motor Information Flow: Insight from Multimodal Neurotechnologies 

Join Krishna Jayant from the Department of Biomedical Engineering as he presents new data using 2D nanotextured ECoG arrays paired with high-density electrophysiology, optogenetics, and focal cooling to study inter‑areal communication in motor networks. His group shows that traveling waves form a core organizing motif linking M1 and M2 during voluntary behavior, enabling near-zero‑lag synchrony through dynamically relayed time delays. These delays shape the velocity, stability, and latency of M1 neural sequences and define a low-dimensional communication subspace that supports flexible yet precise motor control. He will also highlight new neurotechnologies his team is developing to tackle broader circuit and systems questions.
