This study investigates how concussion affects the use of implicit sensorimotor memories during adaptation to unpredictable loads, finding no group differences in memory contributions but suggesting procedural improvements for testing.

This study investigates how intentional suppression of kinematic performance affects the use of implicit and explicit memories in sensorimotor adaptation to unpredictable spring-like loads.

Extended practice with kinesthetic vibrotactile feedback improves reaching accuracy and efficiency, with performance comparable to visual feedback after 10 hours of training.

This study investigates how explicit memory of kinematic performance affects motor adaptation during goal-directed reaching and finds that explicit self-assessments do not improve adaptation.

This study investigates vibrotactile discrimination across arm sites and stimulus timing, finding sequential presentation improves discrimination and suggesting the arm is viable for multivariate feedback in BMIs.

This study shows that vibrotactile feedback improves reach accuracy by reducing proprioceptive drift and altering movement planning, but also leads to a cognitive strategy that persists despite training.
