A groundbreaking study led by Jonathan Michaels, a Faculty of Health assistant professor at 91亚色鈥檚 School of Kinesiology and Health Science, reveals how the brains of humans and monkeys use sensory expectations to prepare for unexpected disturbances, enabling faster and more accurate motor responses.
, the study demonstrates that motor circuits across the brain do not passively wait for sensory signals. Instead, they proactively anticipate potential challenges, configuring themselves to respond effectively to disturbances. The research represents a significant leap forward in uncovering the brain鈥檚 predictive capabilities and its role in motor control.
