This study evaluates motor control and learning by assessing voluntary ankle contractions and adaptive gait responses in participants. These assessments provide insight into motor function, ...

A new research study 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 ...

The Master’s program with a concentration in Motor Learning and Control (MLC) prepares students for careers related to coaching, physical education, human physiology and therapeutic rehabilitation.

Okazaki, Japan – When we learn a motor pattern such as a new sport or dance, movements that were not possible at the beginning can be memorized and made easy through practice. It has been widely ...

The motor cortex, the part of the brain involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements, may play a role in translating vocabulary from foreign languages into a person’s native ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

Stroke is a major cause of non-traumatic disability worldwide. In a new IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica breakthrough aimed at aiding patients with motor impairments, researchers demonstrated the ...

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 ...
