Anyone who’s ever learned music probably remembers reaching a point when they just played without “thinking” about the notes. It turns out that a little bit of disconnect goes a long way in learning ...

A new research study has 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 ...

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...

Mingai Li, received her B.Sc. degree and M.Sc. degree from Daqing Petroleum Institute, Heilongjiang, China, in 1987 and 1990 respectively, and Ph.D. degree from Beijing University of Technology, ...

Human motor control has always been efficient at executing complex movements naturally, efficiently, and without much thought involved. This is because of the existence of motor synergy in the central ...

Actions have consequences, and the physical consequence of slipping improves motor learning, according to research recently published in eNeuro. The brain refines movement in response to mistakes, ...
