First citation in a Science Vs podcast @sciencevs.bsky.social The topic was telepathy - our paper showed how people can hold a pendulum and "think" it to start moving. We showed using motion capture that small movements at the right frequency cause the movement www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A new conference proceedings paper is out with colleagues from Australia using neural networks to simulate motor tasks using networks trained to have hemispheric specialization. The model comparisons suggest that this strategy can take advantage of each hemisphere's strengths doi.org/10.1007/978-...

We published a new paper showing that people with Parkinson's disease produce more submovements than controls. In contrast to previous experiments, we used a tracking task so all participants would move at the same speed and for the same duration. jneuroengrehab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Why is it hard for us to make slow and smooth movements? One possibility is that we don't make them very often in day-to-day life. We tested this by training people over 10 days (did not help much) and also tested slow-movement experts (Tai Chi practitioners) journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...
