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 …

Trial-to-trial variability in the execution of movements and motor skills is ubiquitous and
widely considered to be the unwanted consequence of a noisy nervous system. However …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a neuromodulation therapy for a broad and expanding set
of neurologic conditions. However, the mechanism through which VNS influences central …

Brain computer interfaces (BCI) for the rehabilitation of motor impairments exploit
sensorimotor rhythms (SMR) in the electroencephalogram (EEG). However, the …

The human brain is a complex, adaptive system comprised of billions of cells with trillions of
connections. The interactions between the elements of the system oppose this seemingly …

Motor cortex is widely believed to underlie the acquisition and execution of motor skills, but
its contributions to these processes are not fully understood. One reason is that studies on …

Nonlinear Pedagogy is a powerful paradigm for understanding human movement and for
designing effective teaching, coaching and training programmes in sport, exercise and …

All adaptive organisms face the fundamental tradeoff between pursuing a known reward
(exploitation) and sampling lesser-known options in search of something better …

In mammalian animal models, high-resolution kinematic tracking is restricted to brief
sessions in constrained environments, limiting our ability to probe naturalistic behaviors and …

Neuromechanical principles define the properties and problems that shape neural solutions
for movement. Although the theoretical and experimental evidence is debated, we present …
