title: Cognitive Neuroscience: The Neural Basis of Motor Learning by Observing.
abstract: Somatosensory feedback from the limbs plays an essential role when we learn to make new movements. A recent study shows that motor learning can be accomplished purely through observation, and motor learning by observing also critically depends on the brain's somatosensory system.
