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 …

This paper reviews our understanding of the interception of moving objects. Interception is a
demanding task that requires both spatial and temporal precision. The required precision …

The new smart insole PODOSmart®, is introduced as a new tool for gait analysis against
high cost laboratory based equipment. PODOSmart® system measures walking profile and …

It has been proposed that the sensorimotor system uses a loss (cost) function to evaluate
potential movements in the presence of random noise. Here we test this idea in the context …

Nowadays, the study of the gait by analyzing the distribution of plantar pressure is a well-
established technique. The use of intelligent insoles allows real-time monitoring of the user …

When movements are perturbed in adaptation tasks, humans and other animals show
incomplete compensation, tolerating small but sustained residual errors that persist despite …

Variability is ubiquitous in human movement, arising from internal and external noise,
inherent biological redundancy, and from the neurophysiological control actions that help …

Even well practiced movements cannot be repeated without variability. This variability is
thought to reflect “noise” in movement preparation or execution. However, we show that, for …

Synaptic connections between neurons in the brain are dynamic because of continuously
ongoing spine dynamics, axonal sprouting, and other processes. In fact, it was recently …

Motor variability plays an important role in motor learning, although the exact mechanisms of
how variability affects learning are not well understood. Recent evidence suggests that …
