Optimal anticipatory control as a theory of motor preparation
… theory of neural motor control holds that movement generation is accomplished by a preparatory process that progressively steers the state of the motor cortex into a movement-specific optimal subspace prior to movement onset. The state of the cortex then evolves from these optimal …

Investigating neural mechanisms of hand movements in virtual reality
… visual feedback (MVF), a technique by which movement of one limb is perceived as movement of the contralateral limb, has the capacity to relieve phantom limb pain or promote motor recovery of the upper limbs after stroke (Ramachandran et al., 1995). Functional MRI studies have demonstrated …

Influence of Vibratory Plantar Stimulation on Cortical Motor Planning and Spatiotemporal Step Parameters
… feedback. The premotor cortex (PMC) supports movement preparation, while plantar mechanoreceptors provide essential input for anticipatory postural adjustments and gait initiation. Although previous literature suggests that plantar vibratory stimulation can improve balance and reduce gait …

Identifying the Neural Correlates of Motor Sequence Learning and Movement Automaticity
Sequential movements have become a common experimental paradigm for evaluating the neural correlates of motor learning. Currently, the understanding is that motor sequence learning engages the cortico-cerebellar and cortico-striatal networks and that their contributions differ depending on the …

Neural representations of movement planning within the human prehension system
… to select, prepare or perform correct prehension movements results in dramatic limitations for the affected individual. Whereas we begin to have a better understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying the execution of object-directed movements, less is known about how exactly our brain makes …

An Examination of Two Control Processes That Operate Online During Target Directed Reaching
… This control affords humans a margin of error in movement planning and execution as well as a means of acquiring their goals when the body and/or the environment are extrinsically perturbed. For over a century, the models of online movement control that have best described the trajectories and …
