Medical Xpress / Brain-computer training sharpens detection of tiny movement errors in five days

The brain uses visual cues to coordinate muscle movement. When motor commands and sensory feedback are out of alignment, visuo-motor errors occur. Rapid perception of these errors allows for correction, which is important ...
