Neuroscience

broad tuning in which a motor cortical neuron's discharge varies with the cosine of the angle between movement direction and its preferred direction.

In neuroscience, cosine tuning refers to broad tuning in which a motor cortical neuron's discharge varies with the cosine of the angle between movement direction and its preferred direction. This meaning comes from Georgopoulos (1982) in The Journal of Neuroscience.[1]
