A modular architecture for trial-by-trial learning of redundant muscle activity patterns in novel sensorimotor tasks

This paper presents a computational model that learns redundant muscle activity patterns in novel sensorimotor tasks through trial-by-trial adaptation of muscle synergies and their recruitment coefficients.

Control limitations in the null-space of the wrist muscle system

This study investigates the ability to control muscle activation in the null-space of the wrist system for movement augmentation, finding limitations in null-space control but capability in concurrent force and co-contraction control.

Independent synaptic inputs to motor neurons driving antagonist muscles

This study investigates whether co-contraction of antagonist muscles is controlled by a common synaptic input or independent inputs, finding separate neural pathways for torque and impedance modulation.

Task space exploration improves adaptation after incompatible virtual surgeries

The paper shows that task space exploration improves adaptation after incompatible virtual surgeries by enabling learning of new muscle synergies.
