Task-relevant visual feedback uncertainty attenuates visuomotor adaptation

V Casasnovas, LK Amann… - Journal of …, 2024 - journals.physiology.org
Motor adaptation is attenuated when sensory feedback about the movement is uncertain.
While this was initially shown for small visual errors, attenuation seems not to hold when …
