This study shows serial dependence in haptic perception during active manual exploration, with perceptual judgments biased toward recent sensory experiences, but no serial dependence in movement kinematics.

This study identifies spinal excitatory circuits critical for skilled hand movements in primates, showing pre-determined muscle activation patterns during motor planning.

The paper shows that primary motor cortex encodes future spinal reflexes to coordinate with afferent signals and muscle activity during movement.

The paper shows the motor cortex drives muscle activity through both direct and trans-afferent pathways, implementing internal models for movement control.
