The Impact of Different Learning Processes on Acquisition, Transfer, and Proprioception in Complex Motor Tasks
This study investigates how different feedback types affect motor skill acquisition, transfer, and proprioception in a complex maze navigation task, finding that error-based and adaptive reinforcement feedback improve performance and transfer more than use-dependent or static reinforcement feedback.

Network dynamics for sensory prioritization: Functional connectivity related to individual sensory weighting of vision versus proprioception during upper limb control
Kess L. Folco, Artur Pilacinski, Hu Cheng…·Hannah J. Block
The paper investigates how individual sensory biases during upper limb control relate to whole-brain network dynamics using rsfMRI and finds specific neural patterns associated with visual versus proprioceptive weighting.

Somatosensory cortex and body representation: Updating the motor system during a visuo-proprioceptive cue conflict
Jasmine L. Mirdamadi, Reshma Babu, Manasi Wali…·Hannah J. Block
The paper investigates how the brain updates hand position representation during visuo-proprioceptive conflicts and finds that primary somatosensory cortex (SI) mediates motor system updates through unisensory proprioceptive processing.

The role of feedback in responding to gradual and abrupt visuo-proprioceptive cue conflict
Reshma Babu, Roma K. Matharu, C. Lo, Hannah J. Block
This study investigates how gradual vs. abrupt visuo-proprioceptive cue conflicts and feedback affect recalibration in a static hand, finding similar magnitudes but different timing of recalibration and limited feedback impact.

Visuo-proprioceptive recalibration and the sensorimotor map
The paper investigates how changes in perceived hand position affect reaching behavior, finding that recalibration leads to temporary changes in reach distance but not long-term effects, suggesting multiple interacting body representations.

Retention of visuo-proprioceptive recalibration in estimating hand position
Manasi Wali, Trevor Lee-Miller, Reshma Babu, Hannah J. Block
This study investigates how well visuo-proprioceptive recalibration is retained after a spatial mismatch, finding robust short-term retention but variable long-term effects.

Somatotopic specificity of perceptual and neurophysiological changes associated with visuo-proprioceptive realignment
Jasmine L. Mirdamadi, Courtney R. Seigel, Stephen D. Husch, Hannah J. Block
The paper investigates whether perceptual changes from visuo-proprioceptive misalignment affect motor cortex representations specifically or broadly, finding focal effects in both sensory and motor domains.

Somatosensory versus cerebellar contributions to proprioceptive changes associated with motor skill learning: A theta burst stimulation study
Jasmine L. Mirdamadi, Hannah J. Block
This study investigates how cerebellar and somatosensory cortex activity affects proprioceptive changes during motor skill learning using theta burst stimulation.

The effect of sequence learning on sensorimotor adaptation
This study investigates how sequence learning affects sensorimotor adaptation by testing two experimental conditions, finding that sequence information can facilitate adaptation when it is related to the perturbation.

Visuo-proprioceptive control of the hand in older adults
Hannah J. Block, Brandon M. Sexton
This study investigates whether older adults integrate visual and proprioceptive information to minimize variance in hand position estimation, finding that they do so similarly to younger adults.

Increase in weighting of vision vs. proprioception associated with force field adaptation
Brandon M. Sexton, Yang Liu, Hannah J. Block
The paper shows that force field adaptation increases the brain's weighting of vision over proprioception in hand position estimation.
