• Exploring disturbance as a force for good in motor learning 

      Brookes, Jack; Mushtaq, Faisal; Jamieson, Earle S.; Fath, Aaron J.; Bingham, Geoffrey Parker; Culmer, Peter R.; Wilkie, Richard M.; Mon-Williams, Mark (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Disturbance forces facilitate motor learning, but theoretical explanations for this counterintuitive phenomenon are lacking. Smooth arm movements require predictions (inference) about the force-field associated with a ...
    • Exploring the effects of degraded vision on sensorimotor performance 

      Sheppard, William E. A.; Dickerson, Polly; Baraas, Rigmor C.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Barrett, Brendan T.; Wilkie, Richard M.; Coats, Rachel O. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Purpose: Many people experience unilateral degraded vision, usually owing to a developmental or age-related disorder. There are unresolved questions regarding the extent to which such unilateral visual deficits impact on ...
    • Stem cell function is conserved during shortterm storage of cultured epidermal cell sheets at 12°C 

      Ringstad, Håkon; Reppe, Sjur; Schøyen, Tine Hiorth; Tønseth, Kim Alexander; Utheim, Tor Paaske; Jackson, Catherine (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Transplantation of cultured epidermal cell sheets (CES) can be life-saving for patients with large area burns. CES have also been successfully used to regenerate eye and urethral epithelia in animal models. Short-term ...
    • The validity and reliability of observational assessment tools available to measure fundamental movement skills in school-age children: A systematic review 

      Eddy, Lucy H.; Bingham, Daniel D.; Crossley, Kirsty L.; Shahid, Nishaat F.; Ellingham-Khan, Marsha; Otteslev, Ava; Figueredo, Natalie S.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Hill, Liam J. B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background: Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) play a critical role in ontogenesis. Many children have insufficient FMS, highlighting the need for universal screening in schools. There are many observational FMS assessment ...
