Implication

Computational study evaluates piecewise-linear dynamical systems on synthetic and non-human primate neural data, suggesting linear models may suffice for certain cognitive tasks.

Key Points

To determine whether piecewise-linear dynamical system models can accurately reconstruct and predict cognitive neural dynamics from spiking data to support closed-loop neural control.
Simulated synthetic neural data using a non-linear computational model of perceptual decision-making to test dynamic recovery.
Trained and evaluated recurrent switching linear dynamical system (rSLDS) models against standard linear models using publicly available neural recordings from monkeys during a perceptual decision task.
In synthetic neural data, the piecewise-linear model successfully reconstructed underlying non-linear dynamics and outperformed linear models in predicting future system states and firing activity.
In primate electrophysiological recordings, the piecewise-linear model provided no significant performance advantage over linear models, although linear models fit to separate task epochs revealed qualitatively different dynamics.
