A new study has identified a marker in the brain that controls the ability to reach and grasp, a fundamental fine motor skill that is often impaired in motor or neural injuries such as a stroke.

Sensory neurons in human muscles provide important information used for the perception and control of movement. Learning to move in a novel context also relies on the brain’s independent control ...

Bi-Directional Brain-Machine Interfaces, Body Machine Interface for Controlling Assistive Devices, Computational primitives for sensory-motor learning, Motor adaptation to changes in arm dynamics, The ...

Students will study the principles and theories of motor control and their practical applications.

The motor cortex is a brain region known to control the body’s voluntary movements. However, the team of neuroscientists have now shown that it can also help translating foreign language words ...

Brain knows how to stop thinking, start learning A new study suggests that letting go of executive areas of the brain speeds the learning of motor tasks, such as playing an instrument.

The control computer uses the visual signals to calculate the control signals to accelerate or slow down the car. The algorithm is based on a neuronal network that processes the 'experience values' ...
