Title
Influence of preexisting concepts on new pattern learning

Abstract
Learning requires network of neurons to generate new activity patterns.Here I am investigating if an existing network, constraints the pattern that a subsetof it's neurons is capable of exhibiting.I am aiming to make a computer interface in which people learn to control the cursor.I aim to observe the response under different experimental conditions and make inferences about pattern learning from experimental data.
