The primary somatosensory (S1) cortex is a central structure in motor performance.
However, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) research aimed at improving motor …

We tested how practice 'dosing'affects learning (within-session) and long-term retention of a
grapho-motor skill in 7–8 year old children. In Experiment 1, participants practiced the …

Dexterous finger movements are often characterized by highly coordinated movements.
Such coordination might be derived from reorganization of the corticospinal system. In this …

Action observation (AO) can improve motor performance in humans, probably via the human
mirror neuron system. In addition, there is some evidence that transcranial direct current …

Consecutive training on two movement sequences often leads to retroactive interference—
obstructing memory for the initially trained sequence but not for the second. However, in the …

People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and especially the minimally verbal, often fail to
learn basic perceptual and motor skills. This deficit has been demonstrated in several …

In motor learning tasks, there is mixed evidence for whether increased task-relevant
variability in early learning stages leads to improved outcomes. One problem is that there …

We tested how observation of a skilled pattern of planar movements can assist in the
learning of a new motor skill, which otherwise requires rigorous long-term practice to …

Using the finger-to-thumb opposition sequence (FOS) learning task, we characterized motor
skill learning in sub-acute patients hospitalized for rehabilitation following traumatic brain …

Background Motor learning experiments are typically performed in laboratory environments,
which can be time-consuming and require dedicated equipment/personnel, thus limiting the …
