Humans are adept at performing an extraordinary breadth of voluntary motor actions that
allow us to rapidly move around and interact with the environment. While voluntary motor …

Highlights•Sensorimotor learning consists of processes acting on multiple timescales.•Skill
learning and adaptation are distinct components of sensorimotor learning.•Reward affects …

Highlights•Advanced control theory highlights the role of sensory feedback for motor
function.•Goal-directed feedback begins in muscle activity∼ 60 ms after the limb is …

Visual and proprioceptive feedback both contribute to perceptual decisions, but it remains
unknown how these feedback signals are integrated together or consider factors such as …

Muscle responses to mechanical disturbances exhibit two distinct phases: a response
starting at~ 20 ms that is fairly stereotyped, and a response starting at~ 60 ms modulated by …

Cognitive decision-making is known to be sensitive to the values of potential options, which
are the probability and size of rewards associated with different choices. Here, we examine …

The human sensorimotor control system has exceptional abilities to perform skillful actions.
We easily switch between strenuous tasks that involve brute force, such as lifting a heavy …

Goal-directed reaching movements are guided by visual feedback from both target and
hand. The classical view is that the brain extracts information about target and hand …

Here we provide an overview of findings and viewpoints on the mechanisms of sensorimotor
learning presented at the 2016 Biomechanics and Neural Control of Movement (BANCOM) …

The naturally occurring variability in our movements often poses a significant challenge
when attempting to produce precise and accurate actions, which is readily evident when …
