Overall, we show that preparatory and feedback-related EEG markers differ across perturbation types, showing distinct neural processes across motor learning types. Data is also available online, and we welcome feedback!

For feedback processing, P3 amplitude reduces across training for the rotation but remains stable for the mirror reversal. We also observe a sustained positivity that seems to index implicit learning.

We identify EEG markers distinguishing these two motor learning types across temporal and frequency domains. For movement preparation, the Readiness Potential shows training-related modulation for the rotation, but not the mirror reversal. Beta and alpha modulation was also observed in the rotation.

For sure! We're developing a task where we can manipulate the environmental aspect much better. Will be a while, but it's coming.

This data was recorded in 2022 or so... I finally got my act together to finish all the data analyses. But... data does not expire!

If you want to get your 2 cents in before we get reviews from the journal, now's your chance!

We find that the influence of the frame extends somewhat in space, but not in time. Motion signals don't play much of a role; the frame effect is dominated by the perceived position of the frame. This tells us that our visual system localizes objects relative to their reference frame.

Here we test what happens when there are offsets in space and time between the frame and probes. And technically also effects of two motion signals apart from those of the frame. Videos linked in the pdf!

Agree with most stuff. Gaming the numbers is impossible if we don't rely on them anymore: reading > h-index, yes! But APCs are used by good journals to make science more open. Maybe Math is less open? Or preprints already make it open?

This shows that dual adaptation experiments can be done in standard VR setups, opening new research questions to be tested in more immersive settings and with more freedom of movement.

However, the incongruent movement group learned about as much as the single adaptation group. This reproduces effects of lead-in movements on dual adaptation, as found before.
September 13, 2025 at 2:26 PM
The congruent movement tools and color control groups only learned within each 8 trials, showing that color didn't work, as expected, but also that the tool identity was not sufficient for dual adaptation.
September 13, 2025 at 2:26 PM
In 4 groups, people switch between tools and rotations every 8 trials: 1) using two different colored paddles (color control), 2) using the paddle and curling rod (congruent movement), 3) the paddle and slingshot (incongruent movement) or 4) use one tool for a long time (single adaptation).
September 13, 2025 at 2:26 PM
People used one of 3 tools for this: an air-hockey paddle and a curling rod are moved forward, and either impact with the ball, or shove it for some time. There is also a slingshot that is pulled back and released to launch the ball.
