Effects of arousal on cognitive control: empirical tests of the conflict-modulated Hebbian-learning hypothesis.

abstract：:Musical performance requires motor skills to coordinate the movements of multiple joints in the hand and arm over a wide range of tempi. However, it is unclear whether the coordination of movement across joints would differ for musicians with different skill levels and how inter-joint coordination would vary in relati...
