Abstract Background: Motor learning (ML) can be defined as “any experience-dependent improvement in performance”. Behavioral evidence showed that placebo and nocebo modulate ML, but the neurophysiological underpinnings influence of their effect on implicit processes are still unknown. Objective: The aim this study is to understand if how manipulations could probabilistic sequence explore whethe...
