Model organisms promise insights into the human brain only if they’re representative. This new paper argues that convenience-driven choices weaken extrapolation in neuroscience, and highlights growing calls for comparative, evolution-informed approaches. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The field still doesn't fully understand the impact of uncertainty on motor learning including the factors that modulate its influence. In this recently published paper, we show that practice schedule matters. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Differential impact of sensory uncertainty in blocked versus trial-interleaved contexts when feedforward and feedback processes co-occur

Theories of human motor learning commonly assume that the degree to which movement plans are adjusted in response to movement errors scales with the p…

Excited to share some new work from our group on motor learning under uncertainty. This is part of a broader project to decipher why things looks different when feedback and feedforword processes are permitted to co-occur. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
