Complex Movements, a Detroit-based collective of artists and activists who’ll be at On the Boards for the next couple of weeks, certainly lives up to its name. “She said we need to move away from ...

A new system from Yun Ho, Romain Nith, and Pedro Lopes combines AI and electrical muscle stimulation to physically guide users through unfamiliar tasks—marking a leap toward general-purpose, ...

Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology -- how to ...

Last month, while working on a preview of Beware of the Dandelions, a show by Detroit-based collective Complex Movements at On the Boards, I kept running into a stubborn problem: Nobody seemed able to ...

Just four different movements make up the 12 distinct arm motions that wild octopuses utilize to achieve complex tasks, like probing rocks for food. Research from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL ...

In neuroscience and biomedical engineering, accurately modeling the complex movements of the human hand has long been a significant challenge. Current models often struggle to capture the intricate ...

Understanding how the brain generates movements and, in particular, planned arm movements is a fundamental question in motor control research. Motor control encompasses a broad spectrum of mechanisms, ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement -- they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. The findings are especially relevant for better understanding ...

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement—they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

The next time you're scrolling your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...
