New paper🚨 Exploring motor #imagery in relation to #sports, #music, & #dance ⚽🏌🏻‍♀️🎸🕺🏻 @ucdbodylab @UCDPsychology @UofTKPE

Implicit motor imagery was influenced by experience in sports & music; explicit imagery may be more influenced by formal training

Juan Soto signed a $765 million 15-year contract with the Mets. Last December, Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year $700 million contract with the Dodgers. Are star athletes being paid too much?@uoftkpe prof Simon Darnell shares his views in this Q & A. https://t.co/Ml1Q02uSTV

While you are at it, don’t forget to check out another recent paper (from last week) on how VR changes how we control our movements

[Tim Welsh @DrTimWelsh]

Great work @jude_bek ! Interesting finding that small unintended moments increase after tDCS of supplementary motor area. Maybe SMA is involved in suppressing over movement during imagery. Read more to find out.

[Jude Bek @jude_bek]

❕New preprint❕with @DrMichaelWXY @DrTimWelsh: tDCS over the supplementary motor area led to an increase in incidental movements during motor imagery ⚡️🧠🤔👆 https://t.co/BsZdSEef34

[Tim Welsh @DrTimWelsh]

Thanks @DrMichaelWXY for all your leadership and work on this project. So much good stuff in this paper about movement in AR and VR.

[Dr X. Michael Wang @DrMichaelWXY]

New paper alert 🚨

https://t.co/eYKWK8uUFc

Using visual illusion, we showed that mixed reality technologies, such as VR and AR, alters motor planning and control.

This is the last but most critical piece from a series of three studies from my work with @DrTimWelsh @UofTKPE
