Background environment modulates motor contagions in humans

This study shows that the environment in which an observed action occurs influences motor contagions in humans, as participants moved faster after observing steering in a narrowing versus widening visual channel.

Bodily ownership of an independent supernumerary limb: An exploratory study

This study explores whether humans can perceive ownership of an independent artificial limb, finding that while challenging, embodiment is possible.

Hierarchical motor adaptations negotiate failures during force field learning

This study investigates how humans adapt to force fields during reaching tasks, showing a failure-driven adaptation process that enables quick task success before full internal model adaptation.

Prediction error induced motor contagions in human behaviors

The paper investigates motor contagions induced by observation with or without prediction errors, finding that prediction errors lead to divergent actions rather than similarity.
