Switching between newly learned motor skills

This study investigates switch costs in motor skill switching, finding that errors arise from perseveration rather than poor execution of new skills.

Evidence for a common mechanism supporting invigoration of action selection and action execution

The paper shows that invigoration of action selection and action execution are linked, with changes in one affecting the other.

Separating the control of moving and holding in post-stroke arm paresis

This study investigates whether control of moving and holding is independently affected in stroke patients, finding functional separation between these modes of control despite shared characteristics in resting biases and movement synergies.

De novo motor learning of a bimanual control task over multiple days of practice

This study investigates de novo motor learning of a bimanual control task over multiple days, showing performance improvement and adaptation to perturbations without aftereffects.
