Abstract:
Motor sequencing is a fundamental component of human motor skill. The traditional view of motor sequence learning is that the brain binds movements of a sequence together into a single representation, which then enables fast performance. In this talk I will present an alternative view in which skillful production of motor sequences relies on the ability to dual-task, namely to plan upcoming movements while simultaneously controlling ongoing movements. I will show evidence from fMRI that this ability relies on planning and selection-related areas in premotor and parietal cortex.
