Performing and learning motor behaviors are fundamental to everyday life. The relations
between perceptual input and motor output have been studied and are well understood for …

Adaptation tasks are a key tool in characterizing the contribution of explicit and implicit
processes to sensorimotor learning. However, different assumptions and ideas underlie …

We have demonstrated previously that parafascicular thalamic nucleus (PF)-controlled
neurons in the posterior dorsomedial striatum (pDMS) are critical for interlacing new and …

Many daily activities require performance of multiple tasks integrating cognitive and motor
processes. While the fact that both processes go through deterioration and changes with …

We have previously reported that visuospatial working memory performance and magnitude
of activation in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex predict the rate of visuomotor …

This study examined motor skill learning using a weight-bearing and cognitive-motor dual-
task that incorporated unexpected perturbations and measurements of cognitive function …

Dual-task paradigms are procedures for investigating interference with two tasks performed
simultaneously. Studies that previously addressed dual-task paradigms within a visuomotor …

In daily life, people are constantly presented with situations in which they have to learn and
acquire new motor skills in complex environments, where attention is often distracted by …

One of the brain's primary functions is to promote actions in dynamic, distracting
environments. Because distractions divert attention from our primary goals, we must learn to …

Movement errors are used to continuously recalibrate the sensorimotor map, a process
known as sensorimotor adaptation. Here we examined how attention influences this …
