Metastable attunement and real-life skilled behavior

Jelle Bruineberg et al.

Summary: This paper explores how humans skillfully adapt to unpredictable and uncertain environments, posing questions about how agents apply learned skills to novel situations and remain sensitive to various action possibilities. The concept of metastable attunement is introduced to explain how skilled agents balance stability and flexibility, allowing them to smoothly transition between familiar affordances and explore new opportunities. By studying metastability in real-life situations, the authors aim to deepen the understanding of learning new skills and behaving skillfully in dynamic environments.

How Task Constraints Influence the Gaze and Motor Behaviours of Elite-Level Gymnasts

Joana Barreto et al.

Summary: Perception-action coupling is crucial for effective motor behavior in complex sports like gymnastics. Research shows that gaze behaviors of gymnasts are influenced by task constraints and complexity, with differences in visual search behavior during the approach run phase observed across different levels of expertise. Spending adequate time fixating on the right areas of interest during the approach run is crucial for higher-level performance and scores in competition, particularly on the mini-trampoline with vaulting table.

Concurrent Validation of 3D Joint Angles during Gymnastics Techniques Using Inertial Measurement Units

Joana Barreto et al.

Summary: The use of IMUS for biomechanical analysis offers advantages over 2D/3D video-based analysis, particularly in analyzing movement in a natural performance environment and providing coaches with real-time access to detailed data for feedback optimization. Evaluation of the IMUS Xsens MVN Link system demonstrated its validity in providing useful data for training feedback.

Intra-Subject and Inter-Subject Movement Variability Quantified with Muscle Synergies in Upper-Limb Reaching Movements

Kunkun Zhao et al.

Summary: The study assesses intra-subject and inter-subject variability in multi-directional reaching movements using muscle synergies, revealing lower intra-subject variability than inter-subject variability and confirming shared underlying control structures. Muscle synergies are found to be a valuable tool for quantifying variability at the muscle level, with both intra-subject and inter-subject similarity higher than random matching. The study deepens understanding of muscle synergy-based motor function assessment and rehabilitation applications, highlighting their applicability to real scenarios.
