350 – Movement Sonification to Aid Motor Learning May 04, 2021

Show notes

How can mapping a movement parameter into sound be used to aid motor learning? How can it be used to help stablilize movement patterns or alternatively encourage a learner to be creative and look for new ones?

349 – Movement Reversals & what they tell us about Motor Control Apr 27, 2021

Show notes

Why do we sometimes start moving in completely the wrong direction before changing course when intercepting a moving object? Under what conditions do these "movement reversals" occur and what do they tells us about the use of predictive vs prospective control?

Articles:

Movement reversals in ball catching Visual guidance of intercepting a moving target on foot

348 – The Color of Noise in Motor Control Apr 20, 2021

Show notes

A look at 1/f or pink noise in the motor system. How can it be used as a metric to understand the coordination of degrees of freedom in movement? How does it change when learning a new skill?

346 – How Do Action Capabilities Constrain Affordance Perception & Decision Making Apr 06, 2021

Show notes

How do an athlete's action capabilities (e.g. their speed, power, movement time) influence their abilities to perceive affordances and make decisions? How well calibrated are these things? Can we improve perception and decision making by increasing action capacity?

Articles:

But I can't pass that far! The influence of motor skill on decision making

The influence of instructions and body-scaling as constraints on decision-making processes in team sports

Individual differences in the visual control of intercepting a penalty kick in association football

Action capability constrains visuo-motor complexity during planning and performance in on-sight climbing
