The paper shows that involuntary visuomotor feedback responses reflect a partner representation and consider the partner's movement cost during cooperative tasks.

Online movements reflect ongoing deliberation

The paper shows that hand movements during tasks reflect ongoing decision deliberation before a decision is made, with urgency signals influencing movement patterns.

Reinforcement-Based Processes Actively Regulate MotorExploration Along Redundant Solution Manifolds

This study shows that reinforcement-based processes actively regulate motor exploration along redundant solution manifolds, challenging the idea that such behavior is passive.
