Recent advances in brain imaging and stimulation techniques have transformed our ability to investigate the complex circuitries governing voluntary ...

“Gross motor skills are large movements, often using the whole body,” says health visitor Kerry Bennett. Some examples might ...

Teenagers' bodies change fast. Bones grow, muscles develop, and balance is altered. Adolescence can be a time of high energy, ...

The study of aiming movements encompasses the intricate balance between rapid, pre-planned motor commands and slower, corrective adjustments that ensure accuracy. In goal-directed tasks, the initial ...

Muscle synergies represent coordinated activation patterns of groups of muscles that simplify the control of complex movements. This concept suggests that the central nervous system reduces the ...

In the world of early childhood education, few pedagogical tools are as universally effective as music and movement activities for babies. Long before formal instruction begins, rhythm and sound form ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but ...

Researchers developed an AI system that can reconstruct fine hand muscle activity using only standard video footage.

A high-resolution brain interface records movement signals from the brain's surface, enabling real-time control performance similar to invasive implants without entering brain tissue. (Nanowerk ...

Millions of people struggle with lower back pain worldwide. Now, surprising new research from the University of South ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In recent decades, neuroscience has seen some stunning advances, and yet a critical part of the brain remains a mystery. I am referring ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...
