This study investigates how cognitive load affects fast and slow motor adaptation processes, finding that high cognitive load reduces steady-state learning and increases the contribution of fast processes.

This study shows that anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the supplementary motor area reduces reaction times and increases movement velocities by modulating motor unit recruitment patterns.

This study investigates how the central nervous system controls redundant joints during arm reaching, finding that proximal joints control task space while distal joints manage joint redundancy.

The paper investigates whether goal-directed movements follow pre-planned trajectories or result from online control, finding evidence of early feedback control and varying controller gains during movements.

The paper examines motor unit activity during the delay period and finds early recruitment of small-amplitude motor units that predict movement onset, with differences observed between hand movements and isometric tasks.

This study investigates how the frontal eye field (FEF) in macaques plans and executes sequences of saccadic eye movements, revealing processing bottlenecks and capacity-sharing mechanisms.

This study shows that motor learning homogenizes task space error distribution during reaching tasks, reducing directional error dependence and improving control efficiency.

The paper links frontal eye field activity with small amplitude motor unit recruitment in neck muscles during gaze planning, showing how temporal information is encoded in peripheral motor units before movement initiation.

The paper identifies neural differences between goal-directed and non-goal-directed movements in monkeys using electrophysiological recordings.

The paper tests whether saccadic eye movements are controlled by a velocity-based internal feedback controller using optimal control models, finding that a velocity tracking model better explains velocity modulation during eye-hand coordination.

The paper uses stochastic models to analyze saccade variability and shows that a dual control system using displacement and velocity better explains saccadic eye movement behavior than models using only one signal.

This study investigates how frontal eye field neurons process multiple saccade plans during sequences, showing concurrent activity for both the current and next saccade.

This study shows the basal ganglia contribute to visuomotor adaptation in Parkinson's patients, influenced by dopamine, deep brain stimulation, and reinforcement.

The paper shows that decreased within-trial neural spiking variability contributes to decreased across-trial variability during network computations in primates.
