Nobody knows why we can't tickle ourselves or understand the Rubber Hand Ilussion. Which is not an illusion by the way. https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nj-Mol/research

could be reduced to just the dissapearing of the gap between the athlete and the take-off board (the tau-value becoming zero).

"The brain is all about dimensionality reduction."

For me this is so related to Lee (tau-coupling, gaps). He described the long jump athlete who is engaged in many complex interelated processes - but explained that the whole action

paddle can be reduced to the simplest visual phenome-non: the disappearance of linear forms c.q. the closing of gaps (Lee, tau-coupling). And then this model conversely aligns remarkably well with the most fundamental ecological theories of perception currently available.

This implies that the cortical streams must simultaneously mediate two independent, self-organizing processesβ€”an assumption that borders on the inconceivable.
However, the same explanatory model also demonstrates that the perception of the movement of the pong ball and

18.10.2025 15:03 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

should therefore be rejected. In the case of the game Pong, for instance, it is evident that both the movement of the pong ball and the movement of the paddle, within action trajectory shapes, are perceived autonomously, in continuous relation to a pre-defined point of intersection.

The explanatory model of the motoric movement action that claims to account for all func-tional perceptual processes reveals such a highly complex dynamic system that, from an ecological-evolutionary perspective, it becomes scientifically untenable and

If the function is completely dependent c.q. present in the cell, it must work.

But it 100% is not.

Well, the explanatory model is already there. But even though I am a professional dancer, tennis coach and researcher you will not study it.

But for the record, whatever explanation science will find, it will not be of any neuroevolutionary nature.

Sorry Hugo,

But this reminds me of scientists doing tennis research regarding themselves tennis specialists afterwards.

I danced professionally for decades, conducted anthropological research, and developed and implemented dance programs in art academies.

Which makes me an outsider in here and is the reason why I get ignored. So, I dont see your point.

most superior technique model (like the Fosbury flop in the high jump as compared to the straddle).

But then this *general* model needs to be subjectified towards the unique features of the athlete. Which is fully explained within the Differential Learning Theory of Schollhorn.

If you focus on such broad terms like: "expert training, athletics, and rehabilitation", the outcome is definitely fallacious because the precondition was never valid.

Btw the whole domain of motor skill learning is already completely explained. First you need to find and implement the
