This study investigates vicarious touch experiences in undergraduates, finding high prevalence, gender differences, and strong correlations with video emotional content and arousal.

The paper investigates feedback from peripheral to foveal visual cortex using fMRI and finds limited information transfer with local V1 circuits.

This study develops and tests computational models of criterial learning, finding that delayed feedback impairs learning but long intertrial intervals do not, supporting associative learning mechanisms.

The paper shows that sensory uncertainty affects motor learning differently in blocked vs interleaved trial contexts when both feedforward and feedback processes are engaged, with abrupt changes in movement plans correlated with sensory uncertainty.

The paper investigates whether sensory uncertainty drives abrupt changes in motor plans during movement or acts as a context cue for context-specific motor learning, finding that an aiming model better explains the data.

This study shows expert surgeons adapt and generalize better than naive controls in a visuomotor task, challenging the assumption of uniform motor learning across adults.
