Neuromechanics of muscle synergies for posture and movement

LH Ting, JL McKay - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2007 - Elsevier
Recent research suggests that the nervous system controls muscles by activating flexible
combinations of muscle synergies to produce a wide repertoire of movements. Muscle …

Dynamic modulation of cerebellar excitability for abrupt, but not gradual, visuomotor adaptation

JE Schlerf, JM Galea, AJ Bastian… - Journal of …, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience
The cerebellum is critically important for error-driven adaptive motor learning, as evidenced

Recalibration of auditory space following milliseconds of cross-modal discrepancy

DR Wozny, L Shams - Journal of Neuroscience, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Basic features of objects and events in the environment such as timing and spatial location
are encoded by multiple sensory modalities. This redundancy in sensory coding allows …

Trial-to-trial dynamics and learning in a generalized, redundant reaching task

JB Dingwell, RF Smallwood… - Journal of …, 2013 - journals.physiology.org
If humans exploit task redundancies as a general strategy, they should do so even if the
redundancy is decoupled from the physical implementation of the task itself. Here, we …

Control of vocalization at utterance onset and mid-utterance: Different mechanisms for different goals

CS Hawco, JA Jones - Brain research, 2009 - Elsevier
A large body of evidence suggests that the motor system maintains a forward model that
