CATALIN MITELUT is an academic who published a paper in 2022 entitled Mesoscale cortex-wide neural dynamics predict self-initiated actions in mice several seconds prior t. CATALIN MITELUT published this work as part of a team: Mitelut, Catalin. Here is a description of this work: <,,b>,Abstract<,/b>,<,br/>,<,p>,Volition, the sense of control or agency over one's voluntary actions, is widely recognized as the basis of both human subjective experience and natural behavior in non-human animals. To date, several human studies have found peaks in neural activity preceding voluntary actions, e.G. The readiness potential (RP), and some have shown upcoming actions could be decoded even before awareness. While these findings may pose a challenge to traditional accounts of human volition, some have proposed that random processes underlie and explain pre-movement neural activity. Here we seek to address part of this controversy by evaluating whether pre-movement neural activity in mice contains structure beyond that present in random neural activity.
