Uncertainty of feedback and state estimation determines the speed of motor adaptation

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2010
Humans can adapt their motor behaviors to deal with ongoing changes. To achieve this, the nervous system needs to estimate central variables for our movement based on past knowledge and new feedback, both of which are uncertain. In the Bayesian framework,
