Penn Researchers Build on Theory of How Brain Learns from Mistakes
Penn researchers in psychology and biology have made another advance in understanding how the brain learns from its mistakes, a critical element of fine motor control.

While their previous work had to do with how the brain recognizes true error signals, their current findings suggest the brain can distinguish between errors of different magnitudes.
