Sleep and Motor Skill Learning [PDF]

Neuron, 2002
The improvement of a perceptual or motor skill continues after training has ended. The central question is whether this improvement is just a function of time or whether sleep, a certain circadian phase, or their interaction (sleep occurring in a particular circadian phase) is favorable to the reprocessing of recent memory traces.

Learning Redundant Motor Tasks With and Without Overlapping Dimensions: Facilitation and Interference Effects [PDF]

, 2014
Prior learning of a motor skill creates motor memories that can facilitate or interfere with learning of new, but related, motor skills. One hypothesis of motor learning posits that for a sensorimotor task with redundant degrees of freedom, the nervous ...

Sport expert's motor imagery: Functional imaging of professional motor skills and simple motor skills [PDF]

Brain Research, 2010
Numerous studies provide evidence that motor skill acquisition is associated with dynamic changes in cortical and subcortical regions. Athletes are a professional population who are engaged in extensive motor training for long periods. However, the neural substrates of extreme level motor performance have not been clarified. We used kinesthetic imagery
