A computational neuroanatomy for motor control
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 …

Inside the brain of an elite athlete: the neural processes that support high achievement in sports
Abstract Events like the World Championships in athletics and the Olympic Games raise the
public profile of competitive sports. They may also leave us wondering what sets the …

Learning from sensory and reward prediction errors during motor adaptation
Voluntary motor commands produce two kinds of consequences. Initially, a sensory
consequence is observed in terms of activity in our primary sensory organs (eg, vision …

Goal-directed aiming: two components but multiple processes.
This article reviews the behavioral literature on the control of goal-directed aiming and
presents a multiple-process model of limb control. The model builds on recent variants of …

[HTML][HTML] Beyond simple laboratory studies: develo** sophisticated models to study rich behavior
Psychology and neuroscience are concerned with the study of behavior, of internal cognitive
processes, and their neural foundations. However, most laboratory studies use constrained …

Decision making, movement planning and statistical decision theory
We discuss behavioral studies directed at understanding how probability information is
represented in motor and economic tasks. By formulating the behavioral tasks in the …

On the origins of suboptimality in human probabilistic inference
Humans have been shown to combine noisy sensory information with previous experience
(priors), in qualitative and sometimes quantitative agreement with the statistically-optimal …

Combining priors and noisy visual cues in a rapid pointing task
Statistical decision theory suggests that choosing an ideal action requires taking several
factors into account:(1) prior knowledge of the probability of various world states,(2) sensory …

Variability in motor learning: relocating, channeling and reducing noise
Variability in motor performance decreases with practice but is never entirely eliminated, due
in part to inherent motor noise. The present study develops a method that quantifies how …

Dynamically adapted context-specific hyper-articulation: Feedback from interlocutors affects speakers' subsequent pronunciations
We ask whether speakers can adapt their productions when feedback from their
interlocutors suggests that previous productions were perceptually confusable. To address …
