We review behavioral and neural evidence for MWM, focusing on the system's various roles in retrospectively maintaining motor representations, prospectively planning movements, and motor learning.
Please share! And feedback welcome :)

We argue that a dedicated research program on 'working memory for movements' is long overdue

New preprint from the lab! 🧠
Led by Juliana Trach, w/ Sophia Ou
Using fMRI, we discovered evidence for time-sensitive reward prediction errors (RPEs) in the human cerebellum.
Builds on, and extends, recent work in both rodents and NHPs

Unprompted, my kid Leo wrote this on my office whiteboard “The brain controls the body.”
Also, seems like drawing is referencing the contralateral control scheme?

7 pre-registered experiments and lots of fun control studies.
Our favorite involves a new stimulus Zekun invented, the "Spiralized Stimulus"!

In this study, Zekun asked: When we visually segment observed actions, is perceptual segmentation fully driven by low-level features (e.g., motion dynamics, scene cuts), or also by high-level structure (e.g., distinct phases of a tennis serve).
We find that BOTH matter.

Happening NOW! Our lab has 2 posters today, Juliana Trach on reward prediction errors in the cerebellum, and Hanna Hillman on working memory for movements and its relation to dynamic WM computations:
