What does the 'optimal subspace hypothesis' assume about movement production (Brown & Teskey, 2014)?
What does the 'optimal subspace hypothesis' assume about movement production (Brown & Teskey, 2014)?
- It is unrelated to any preparatory activity.
- It is solely determined by the behavioral task.
- It is triggered by the crossing of an appropriate threshold.
- It is dependent on the initial state of firing rates. (correct)
In the context of the optimal subspace hypothesis, what does the 'optimal subregion' refer to (Brown & Teskey, 2014)?
In the context of the optimal subspace hypothesis, what does the 'optimal subregion' refer to (Brown & Teskey, 2014)?
- A region where all firing rates must cross to produce a movement.
- A threshold that triggers movement initiation.
- A specific cue that indicates the start of movement preparation.
- A subset of population firing rates suitable for accurate movement. (correct)
How does motor preparation differ between the 'optimal subspace hypothesis' and the 'rise-to-threshold model' (Brown & Teskey, 2014)?
How does motor preparation differ between the 'optimal subspace hypothesis' and the 'rise-to-threshold model' (Brown & Teskey, 2014)?
- In both models, movement initiation is solely dependent on external cues.
- In both models, firing rates must cross a specific threshold to initiate movement.
- In neither model, firing rates are considered during preparatory activity.
- In the hypothesis, firing rates remain within an optimal region, whereas in the model, a threshold triggers movement. (correct)
