Andrew King and Jacob Boulrice find that simultaneously adapting to two opposing rotations #DualAdaptation in #VR works better when you launch a ball with tools that require movements in two different directions (e.g. pull back on a slingshot or push forward with an air-hockey tool). Incongruent lead-in movements work!

Maryum Khan finds that adapting to a rotation when using a tool, recalibrates position estimates of the toolbut not of the hand holding the tool. #recalibration #VR #tool #adaptation

Shanaathanan Modchalingam finds that people seem to switch models rather than adapt an existing model when faced with a perturbation that is more clearly environmental than a simple rotation: sideways acceleration. Clever use of #VR virtual reality! #SCAPPS #MotorLearning

Raphael Gastrock presented preliminary results from his EEG study on differences in brain activity between #adaptation and #DeNovo learning at #SCAPPS

Spoiler: we didn't find any in the ERPs we checked so far, although the ERPs are definitely there. We'll look at other types of markers!

Presented my poster at SCAPPS last Friday. Thanks everyone for listening to me raising questions rather than answering any about how (measures of) implicit and explicit components of adaptation are combined in behavior. #implicit #explicit #SCAPPS
