  "summary": "Motor adaptation is typically studied using limb-based perturbations in highly constrained tasks. However, everyday actions require compensating for uncertain environmental dynamics impacting manipulated objects within redundant execution spaces, where multiple combinations of variables can achieve success. To investigate this, we designed a novel virtual reality task where participants launched…",
