A new model sheds light on how people learn motor skills
by University of Tsukuba Credit: Olimpik/Shutterstock Even seemingly simple movements are very complex to perform, and the way we learn how to perform new movements remains unclear. Researchers from Japan have recently proposed a new model of motor learning that combines a number of different theories. A study published this month in Neural Networks revealed that their...

New virtual reality technology may improve motor skills in damaged limbs
Novel training may rehabilitate impaired limbs by allowing healthy limbs to lead ‘by example,’ say Tel Aviv University researchers Summary: New research suggests that a combination of traditional physical therapy and technology may improve the motor skills and mobility of an impaired hand by having its healthy partner hand lead by example through virtual reality...
