Rodent models are widely used to investigate neural changes in response to motor learning. Usually, the behavioral readout of motor learning tasks used for this purpose is restricted to a binary measure of performance (i.e. "successful" movement vs. ...
Modern robots face a challenge shared by biological systems: how to learn and adaptively express multiple sensorimotor skills. A key aspect of this is developing an internal model of expected sensorimotor experiences to detect and react to unexpected...
Pickleball has gained popularity across diverse age groups. This sport has particular balls that require different hitting styles, like hitting dinks. This study focuses on introducing pickleball players' kinematic analysis through a MediaPipe-based ...

AIM: This study investigates the impact of an AI-supported occupational therapy program, developed using the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), on handwriting skills in children at risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).
A human-shaped robotic hand offers unparalleled versatility and fine motor skills, enabling it to perform a broad spectrum of tasks with precision, power, and robustness. Across the paleontological record and animal kingdom, we see a wide range of al...
In this issue of Neuron, Chiappa et al. describe how neural networks can be trained to perform complex hand motor skills. A key to their approach is curriculum learning, breaking learning into stages, leading to good control.
BACKGROUND: There is equivocal evidence regarding the effectiveness of robotic guidance on the (re)learning of voluntary motor skills. Robotic guidance can improve the performance of continuous/ tracking skills, although being seldom more effective t...
