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 …

Modern virtual reality (VR) devices record six-degree-of-freedom kinematic data with high
spatial and temporal resolution and display high-resolution stereoscopic three-dimensional …

Recent theory proposes that the brain, when confronted with several action possibilities,
prepares multiple competing movements before deciding among them. Psychophysical …

Several studies have shown that sensory contextual cues can reduce the interference
observed during learning of opposing force fields. However, because each study examined …

Motor learning has been shown to depend on multiple interacting learning processes. For
example, learning to adapt when moving grasped objects with novel dynamics involves a …

Humans receive sensory information from the past, requiring the brain to overcome delays to
perform daily motor skills such as standing upright. Because delays vary throughout the …

The ubiquity of tool use in human life has generated multiple lines of scientific and
philosophical investigation to understand the development and expression of humans' …

Skilful object manipulation requires learning the dynamics of objects, linking applied force to
motion,. This involves the formation of a motor memory,, which has been assumed to be …

Task-specific dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by a painless loss of dexterity
specific to a particular motor skill. This disorder is prevalent among writers, musicians …
