Muscle Key-Board

Asia Shcherbakova 2022/11/23

It’s a misconception that the motor cortex controls muscles like a keyboard. But in Baseworks practice, we are trying to use it more like a keyboard, making motor learning easier.

Baseworks Distributed Activation: the M1 on Fire

Asia Shcherbakova 2022/10/19

This article is about a common misconception that the brain contains a “motor map” of our muscles in the sense in which we normally understand when we think about maps (one-to-one representation). It further explains the term “distributed activation” in movement research and then compares it with the Baseworks Distributed Activation.
