Acoustic stimulation increases implicit adaptation in sensorimotor adaptation

This study investigates how unpredictable loud acoustic stimulation enhances sensorimotor adaptation by improving initial adaptation and overnight retention.

Cumulative distribution functions: An alternative approach to examine the triggering of prepared motor actions in the StartReact effect

The paper evaluates the use of cumulative distribution functions to analyze reaction time data in the StartReact effect, finding that SCM activity is unreliable for identifying neurophysiological triggering differences.

Triggering mechanisms for motor actions: A mini meta-analysis and experimental data.

The paper meta-analyzes studies on motor action triggering, finding faster premotor reaction times in trials with sternocleidomastoid muscle activity, and presents experimental data on foreperiod predictability effects.

Unilateral movement preparation causes task-specific modulation of TMS responses in the passive, opposite limb.

This study shows that preparing for unilateral movement modulates transcranial magnetic stimulation responses in the opposite limb, reflecting the active limb's force direction in a body-centered coordinate system.

Cerebellar anodal tDCS increases implicit visuomotor remapping when strategic re-aiming is suppressed

This study shows cerebellar anodal tDCS enhances implicit visuomotor remapping during sensorimotor adaptation, regardless of whether explicit re-aiming is suppressed or allowed.

The primary motor cortex is critical for the retention of implicit sensorimotor adaptation

This study shows that the primary motor cortex (M1) is critical for retaining sensorimotor adaptations learned implicitly when explicit strategies are suppressed.
