July 27, 2021 360 – Biotensegrity
What is biotensegrity? How can it be used to understand movement coordination and preparation on an individual level and team coordination? How does it relate to Bernstein's concepts of motor synergies and muscle tone?

Articles:The Medium of Haptic Perception: A Tensegrity Hypothesis

Is Tensegrity the Functional Architecture of the Equilibrium Point Hypothesis? Linking Tensegrity to Sports Team Collective Behaviors: Towards the Group-Tensegrity Hypothesis

July 20, 2021 359 – Habit vs Skill II: Being Fast and Adaptable
Conscious control seems to be far too slow to account for skilled performance in sports while using automatic habits seems not to be smart enough to allow for adaptation to the ever-changing constraints an athlete faces. How can we be both adaptable and fast? Does adaptability require mental representation?

June 29, 2021 357 - Article Review: Does the structure and amount of variability in practice matter?
Does the amount of and structure of variability matter when training a new learner? Are there benefits to using Differential Learning over a simple serial, variable practice schedule?

June 15, 2021 356 – Article Review: How do Changes in Informational Constraints Influence Movement Variability?
How do changes in the perceptual information available alter movement variability? If we constrain vision with occluding glasses or constrain audition with headphones how do performers adapt their movements? How does this depend on skill level?

June 08, 2021 355 – Article Review: How Does Movement Coordination Change with Increased Effort?
How does the constraint of effort (for example, throwing at 80% of your max vs 100%) change the coordination of degrees of freedom in movement? Do movements become mostly invariant across individuals at max effort or is there still a role for variability?

June 01, 2021 354 – Article Review: Does Practice Representativeness Effect Perceptual-Motor Calibration?
Does the representativeness of a practice task effect perceptual-motor calibration? For example, is the calibration of decision making and gaze behavior more effective when hitting off a pitcher vs a tee in baseball?

May 11, 2021 351 – Perceptual-Motor Styles
Why do many individuals have a distinctive manner of performing a motor action (aka a perceptual-motor style)? How can we determine whether a particular style is functional? How do styles change with development, sports training and through rehabilitation?
