Task-dependent coarticulation of movement sequences [PDF]
Combining individual actions into sequences is a hallmark of everyday activities. Classical theories propose that the motor system forms a single specification of the sequence as a whole, leading to the coarticulation of the different elements.

Cerebellar implementation of movement sequences through feedback [PDF]
Most movements are not unitary, but are comprised of sequences. Although patients with cerebellar pathology display severe deficits in the execution and learning of sequences (Doyon et al., 1997; Shin and Ivry, 2003), most of our understanding of ...

The coding and inter-manual transfer of movement sequences [PDF]
The manuscript reviews recent experiments that use inter-manual transfer and inter-manual practice paradigms to determine the coordinate system (visual-spatial or motor) used in the coding of movement sequences.

The Dopamine System and Automatization of Movement Sequences: A Review With Relevance for Speech and Stuttering [PDF]
The last decades of research have gradually elucidated the complex functions of the dopamine system in the vertebrate brain. The multiple roles of dopamine in motor function, learning, attention, motivation, and the emotions have been difficult to ...

The benefits of learning movement sequences in social interactions [PDF]
Although we frequently acquire knowledge and skills through social interactions, the focus of most research on learning is on individual learning. Here we characterize Interaction Based Learning (IBL), which represents the acquisition of knowledge or ...

The Planning Horizon for Movement Sequences. [PDF]
AbstractWhen performing a long chain of actions in rapid sequence, future movements need to be planned concurrently with ongoing action. However, how far ahead we plan, and whether this ability improves with practice, is currently unknown. Here we designed an experiment in which healthy volunteers produced sequences of 14 finger presses quickly and ...

The parallel programming of landing position in saccadic eye movement sequences. [PDF]
Saccadic eye movements occur in sequences, gathering new information about the visual environment to support successful task completion. Here we examine the control of these saccadic sequences and specifically the extent to which the spatial aspects of ...

Muscle spindles provide flexible sensory feedback for movement sequences [PDF]
Summary: Sensory feedback is essential for motor performance and must adapt to task demands. Muscle spindle afferents (MSAs) are a major primary source of feedback about movement.

Orchestrated Movement Sequences and Shape-Memory-like Effects in Pine Cones [PDF]
Hygroscopic seed-scale movement is responsible for the weather-adaptive opening and closing of pine cones and for facilitating seed dispersal under favorable environmental conditions.

A simple way to estimate similarity between pairs of eye movement sequences [PDF]
We propose a novel algorithm to estimate the similarity between a pair of eye movement sequences. The proposed algorithm relies on a straight-forward geometric representation of eye movement data.
