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 …

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 …

Unifying principles of movement have emerged from the computational study of motor
control. We review several of these principles and show how they apply to processes such …

The emulation theory of representation is developed and explored as a framework that can
revealingly synthesize a wide variety of representational functions of the brain. The …

Motor learning mechanisms are operative during spontaneous stroke recovery and interact
with rehabilitative training. For optimal results, rehabilitation techniques should be geared …

During much of sleep, the cerebral cortex is rippled by slow waves, which appear in the
electroencephalogram as oscillations between 0.5 and 4.5 Hz. Slow waves are regulated as …

The descending projections from motor cortex share many features with top-down or
backward connections in visual cortex; for example, corticospinal projections originate in …

Bionic prostheses have restorative potential. However, the complex interplay between
intuitive motor control, proprioception, and touch that represents the hallmark of human …

To manipulate objects or to use tools we must compensate for any forces arising from
interaction with the physical environment. Recent studies indicate that this compensation is …

Recent studies have shown that frontoparietal cortices and interconnecting regions in the
basal ganglia and the cerebellum are related to motor skill learning. We propose that motor …
