Motor Memory (IMAGE) University of California - Berkeley Caption Signals from the brain's motor cortex were translated by a "decoder" into deliberate movements of a computer cursor. The task involved moving the cursor from a central starting point to a nearby target. UC Berkeley researchers have learned that the brain is capable of developing a motor memory of the task, much like it masters other physical skills such as riding a bike or playing tennis, but with the added distinction that the control is of a device separate from one's own body.
