Tsukuba, Japan—Superior motor learning ability in athletes is not an innate talent but a skill that can be developed throughout life. Over the past decade, motor control scientists have observed ...

A new research study has examined the results from data generated by citizen scientists using a simple web-based motor test. The big data approach provides researchers with a unique way to explore how ...

Human motor control has always been efficient at executing complex movements naturally, efficiently, and without much thought involved. This is because of the existence of motor synergy in the central ...

Stroke is one of the leading causes of non-traumatic disability worldwide, affecting more than 15 million people each year, with about three-quarters experiencing long-term functional impairments.

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

Aya Takeoka at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan and colleagues have discovered the neural circuitry in the spinal cord that allows brain-independent motor learning. Published in ...

From writing an article and typing to playing a violin or being a tennis star, the learning of tasks involving movement is one of the brain’s most complex challenges. How does one acquire new motor ...

In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Science of Learning, researchers investigated the impacts of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on the subsequent motor skill acquisition efficiency ...

When we speak, we use our auditory and somatosensory systems to monitor the results of the movements of our tongue or lips. Since we cannot typically see our own faces and tongues while we speak, ...

Electric traction has become a critical part of a growing number of systems that need efficient motion and position control. Motors do not just provide the driving force for vehicles, from e-bikes to ...
