60 participants in the study made arm movements while sitting in an exoskeleton robot. Target points were displayed on the screen in front of them, which they had to reach with their right hand. The ...

New information that is compatible with pre-existing knowledge can be learned faster. Such schema memory effect has been reported in declarative memory and in explicit motor sequence learning (MSL).

Across organisms, motor learning is governed by experience-dependent plasticity in relevant neural circuits along the neuroaxis dependent on the task demands 1. Such plastic changes are ...

These signals come in two forms—one during movement, and one after. When RNp was electrically stimulated just after a reach, the monkeys gradually changed their movement direction, showing learning ...

From writing and typing to playing a musical instrument or mastering a sport, learning movement-based tasks is one of the brain’s most complex challenges. This collaborative new study reveals how the ...
