BI 234 Juan Gallego: The Neural Manifold Manifesto
Juan Gallego, neuroscientist and director of the Neocybernetics Lab, studies neural manifolds, motor control, and restorative neurotechnology. He argues manifolds are real and causally powerful. Conversation covers how manifolds shape learning and cross-species similarities, limits mapping them to psychology, interactions across brain areas, and translating manifold ideas into BCIs and spinal cord prosthetics.
