Sequence action representations contextualize during early skill learning

Debadatta Dash, Fumiaki Iwane, William Hayward, Roberto Salamanca-Giron, Marlene Bönstrup, Ethan R. Buch, Leonardo G. Cohen

The paper shows that neural representations of actions in motor skills differentiate during early learning, particularly offline, and shift brain regions involved as skill improves.
