How do people discover an effective strategy when the environment shifts—say, when adapting to an unfamiliar trackpad?
Our take: strategic motor adaptation isn’t a smooth process of error reduction but rather a process of hypothesis testing.

Hypothesis Testing Governs an Efficiency-Flexibility Trade-off in Strategic Motor Learning
It remains unknown how people discover an effective movement strategy when the environment changes (e.g., when adapting to a new computer trackpad). We propose that strategic adaptation operates throu...

Our new paper is out. It's on pupillometry and when we notice motor perturbations, and it contains a picture of my favourite coffee mug -- for scientific reasons, of course!

Can pupillometry reveal perturbation detection in sensorimotor adaptation during grasping? | Journal of Neurophysiology | American Physiological Society
Humans adjust their motor actions to correct for errors both with and without being aware of doing so. Little is known, however, about what makes errors detectable for the actor, and how researchers c...
