A sub-Riemannian model of the functional architecture of M1 for arm movement direction
In this paper we propose a neurogeometrical model of the behaviour of cells of the arm area of the primary motor cortex (M1). We mathematically express the hypercolumnar organization of M1 discovered by Georgopoulos, as a fiber bundle, as in classical sub-riemannian models of the visual cortex (Hoffmann, Petitot, Citti-Sarti). On this structure, we consider the selective tuning of M1 neurons of kinematic variables of positions and directions of movement. We then extend this model to encode the notion of fragments of movements introduced by Hatsopoulos. In our approach fragments are modelled as integral curves of vector fields in a suitable sub-Riemannian space. These fragments are in good agreements with movement decomposition from neural activity data. Here, we recover these patterns through a spectral clustering algorithm in the subriemannian structure we introduced, and compare our results with the neurophysiological ones of Kadmon-Harpaz et al.

We consider machine learning tasks with low-rank functional tree tensor networks (TTN) as the learning model. While in the case of least-squares regression, low-rank functional TTNs can be efficiently optimized using alt…
Cortical Functional architectures as contact and sub-Riemannian geometry
In a joint paper, Jean Petitot together with the authors of the present paper described the functional geometry of the visual cortex as the symplectization of a contact form to describe the family of cells sensitive to p…
