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 …

When we learn a new motor skill, such as playing an approaching tennis ball, both our
sensors and the task possess variability. Our sensors provide imperfect information about …

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 …

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 …

The cerebellum is an essential part of the neural network involved in adapting goal-directed
arm movements. This adaptation might rely on two distinct signals: a sensory prediction error …

Adaptation to a novel visuomotor transformation has revealed important principles regarding
learning and memory. Computational and behavioral studies have suggested that …

The relationship between implicit and explicit processes during motor learning, and for
visuomotor adaptation in particular, is poorly understood. We set up a conflict between …

The question of whether it is possible to automate the scientific process is of both great
theoretical interest, and increasing practical importance because, in many scientific areas …

Recent studies of upper limb movements have provided insights into the computations,
mechanisms, and taxonomy of human sensorimotor learning. Motor tasks differ with respect …
