The concept of contextual interference (CI) refers to the counterintuitive observation that practice schedules involving high variability, particularly random practice, may hinder immediate ...

A new research study examined the results from data generated by citizen scientists using a simple web-based motor test. The big data approach provides researchers with a unique way to explore how ...

Motor sequence learning and production constitute fundamental processes by which individuals acquire, refine and automatise complex patterns of movement. This area of research bridges cognitive ...

Researchers have discovered that the dorsal premotor cortex serves a 'meta-learning' function, overseeing and regulating physical movements. Once believed to be limited to movement planning, this ...

The neural network in the primary motor cortex transitions from a "beginner" state (light blue, left) to an "expert" configuration (dark blue, right). Dopamine release from the ventral tegmental area ...

In a recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers investigated the causal contribution of specific oscillatory activity patterns within the human striatum to reinforcement motor ...

Data generated by citizen scientists offer researchers new insight into how people adapt and move differently to correct for movement errors “This exploratory approach does not replace lab based ...
