A free-energy principle has been proposed recently that accounts for action, perception and
learning. This Review looks at some key brain theories in the biological (for example, neural …

Motor learning encompasses a wide range of phenomena, ranging from relatively low-level
mechanisms for maintaining calibration of our movements, to making high-level cognitive …

Abstract The exploits of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer represent the pinnacle of
motor learning. However, when considering the range and complexity of the processes that …

Motor control is the study of how organisms make accurate goal-directed movements. Here
we consider two problems that the motor system must solve in order to achieve such control …

What are the principles underlying effective neurorehabilitation? The aim of
neurorehabilitation is to exploit interventions based on human and animal studies about …

In this paper, we integrate recent theoretical and empirical developments in predictive
coding and active inference accounts of interoception (including the Embodied Predictive …

Visuomotor adaptation has been thought to be an implicit process that results when a
sensory-prediction error signal is used to update a forward model. A striking feature of …

The study of patients to infer normal brain function has a long tradition in neurology and
psychology. More recently, the motor system has been subject to quantitative and …

We have previously tried to explain perceptual inference and learning under a free-energy
principle that pursues Helmholtz's agenda to understand the brain in terms of energy …

In order to generate skilled and efficient actions, the motor system must find solutions to
several problems inherent in sensorimotor control, including nonlinearity, nonstationarity …
