DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Valerio Mante\nhosted by Thijs van der Plas\nAbstract:
  Neural activity in frontal and motor cortices can be considered to be the
  manifestation of a dynamical system implemented by large neural populatio
 ns in recurrently connected networks. The computations emerging from such 
 population-level dynamics reflect the interaction between external inputs 
 into a network and its internal\, recurrent dynamics. Isolating these two 
 contributions in experimentally recorded neural activity\, however\, is ch
 allenging\, limiting the resulting insights into neural computations. I wi
 ll present an approach to addressing this challenge based on response resi
 duals\, i.e. variability in the population trajectory across repetitions o
 f the same task condition. A complete characterization of residual dynamic
 s is well-suited to systematically compare computations across brain areas
  and tasks\, and leads to quantitative predictions about the consequences 
 of small\, arbitrary causal perturbations.
