Sensory-Motor Integration: More Variability Reduces Individuality

Motor neural networks and muscles produce identifiably common outputs, such as a trot or gallop, despite varations in intrinsic properties across individuals. New work shows that sensory input can induce the requisite decrease in across-individual variability even as it increases within-individual v...

Summary:Motor neural networks and muscles produce identifiably common outputs, such as a trot or gallop, despite varations in intrinsic properties across individuals. New work shows that sensory input can induce the requisite decrease in across-individual variability even as it increases within-individual variability.
