The Motor Cognition, Neuroscience and Behavior Lab at Texas A&M is recruiting a PhD student, estimated start Fall 2026! See the below advert for details on the position, lab and department.

Please circulate widely to those who could be interested in applying!

Within the article new avenues of research are proposed, and implications for AO and MI of differing actions (conflicting AOMI) discussed. See below!

7/7

In AOMI of congruent kinematic information, MI provides expected kinesthetic information while AO provides kinematic information through perception. Action similarities between AO and MI affords the association of multisensory information, and error detection

5/7

SCH instead proposes increased activity and enhanced movement outcomes to be driven by prediction errors, generated through contrasting observer (imagined kinematics) and actor kinematics (observed kinematics).

3/7

Previous hypotheses suggest the increased motor-related activity and enhanced behavioral outcomes are driven by either the coalescence of AO and MI representations, or primarily from MI.

2/7

After an amazing few years at UBC, I'm excited to announce that I'll be joining the Department of Kinesiology & Sport Management at Texas A&M University as an Assistant Professor this July.

In this new role I'll be launching the Motor Cognition, Neuroscience and Behavior Lab! 🧠

A reminder that we're still welcoming submissions for our special issue on 'Motor skill learning beyond the individual' in JMLD.

If you are interested or have any questions, please reach out to myself, Tim Welsh, Nicola Hodges or April Karlinsky!

Please share broadly!
