Perceptual Skills and Movement Miscommunication

Conference
Share this event:

Join us at the International Conference on Neuroscience and Neurology (ICNN 2025) in Astana, Kazakhstan, from October 5-7, 2025, where Ksenia (Asia) Shcherbakova will present our research on “Perceptual Skills and Movement Miscommunication” stemming from the reverse-engineering of the Baseworks method.

“What patterns emerge when movements are refined solely for cross-learner communicability?”

The presentation will present Baseworks’ naturalistic, embodied, practical answer to this question, emerging from the “collective wisdom” of 10,000 learners, whose “movement communication” over 10 years revealed somatosensory discrimination as a bottleneck in motor skill acquisition. We will introduce the common movement patterns that are surprisingly difficult for many people, and which, in turn, develop perceptual skills in the somatosensory domain.

The presentation will highlight our key findings and discuss the insights for pedagogical frameworks and potential applications in cognitive neuroscience.

Dates: October 5-7 (The Baseworks presentation will take place on Day 2, between 14.10–15.40)

Asia Shcherbakova

Asia (Ksenia) Shcherbakova holds a Master of Science in Human Genetics and a Ph.D. in Biotechnology.
She joined Baseworks as a science consultant to investigate the neurobiological basis of the method's effects, and has since developed the conceptual frameworks used to describe and teach it. Her research for Baseworks has been presented at international neuroscience conferences, and a parallel line of her work examines how movement, conceptual thought, and linguistic expression function as integrated cognitive processes. She also participates in an ongoing study of the neuroprotective mechanisms of medium-chain triglycerides; her scientific publications appear under her birth name, Ksenia Shcherbakova.
