Accurate micromanipulation induced by performing in unstable dynamics

This study examines effects of learning 3D micromanipulation in an unstable dynamic environment. A test group trained in an unstable divergent force field while a control group trained the movement in the null force field. The subjects in the test group increased the success rate, in contrast to the control group which had similar rate after training. The error and its standard deviation decreased in the test group but not in the control group. In summary, training in unstable dynamics enable subjects to become more accurate, in contrast to training using only visual feedback.
