Abstract Motor imagery, that is the mental rehearsal of a motor skill, can lead to improvements when performing the same skill.Here we show a powerful and complementary role, in which motor imagery of different movements after actually performing a skill allows learning that is not possible without imagery.We leverage a well-studied motor learning
Current status and trends in large language modeling research
Over the past two decades, language modeling (LM) has emerged as a primary methodology for language understanding and generation.This technology has become a cornerstone within the field of natural language processing (NLP).At its core, LM is designed to train models to predict the probability of the next word or token, thereby generating natural a
Genotypic and phenotypic analysis of backcross inbred lines for brown plant hopper resistance in rice
The most devastating insect pest of rice, Brown plant hopper (BPH) (Nilaparvata lugens Stal.) feeds on the Stationary Loveseats rice plant and results in huge yield loss.Breeding of resistant cultivars is more economical and eco-friendlier than use of chemical pesticides.Rice cultivars with improved resistance to disease and pest are developed with
Plant-microbe interactions: mechanisms and applications for improving crop yield and quality
In light of the dual challenges posed by climate change and the burgeoning global population, which are putting food security at risk, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable agricultural innovations.These innovations must be capable of increasing crop productivity and maintaining soil health, reducing our dependence on synthetic agrochemica
