Motor planning

AL Wong, AM Haith, JW Krakauer - The Neuroscientist, 2015 - journals.sagepub.com

A representation of effort in decision-making and motor control

R Shadmehr, HJ Huang, AA Ahmed - Current biology, 2016 - cell.com
Given two rewarding stimuli, animals tend to choose the more rewarding (or less effortful)
option. However, they also move faster toward that stimulus [1–5]. This suggests that reward …

Making decisions through a distributed consensus

P Cisek - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2012 - Elsevier
How does the brain decide between actions? Is it through comparisons of abstract
representations of outcomes or through a competition in a sensorimotor map defining the …

The computational and neural basis of voluntary motor control and planning
