Welcome to The Habit, Intelligence,
& Computation in Motor Skill Laboratory
We are a research group led by Yue Du in the Department of Kinesiology & Sport Management at Texas A&M University. We use psychophysics experiments, computational modeling, and patient studies to answer questions at the intersection of complex human movement and mind.
Our lab logo symbolizes our mission: thinking about motor skills, uncovering the thinking inside motor skills, and pushing the field to think differently about how motor skills are acquired.
Research projects in the lab cover diverse areas, including motor skill learning across the lifespan, action control, habit formation and extinction, and mechanical reasoning. Find out more about our research
We are a research group led by Yue Du in the Department of Kinesiology & Sport Management at Texas A&M University. We use psychophysics experiments, computational modeling, and patient studies to study questions at the intersection of motor behavior and cognition.
Research projects in the lab cover diverse areas, including motor skill learning across the lifespan, action control, habit formation and extinction, and mechanical reasoning.
Our mission is to advance understanding of complex human mind and movement, and to use these insights to inform better strategies in sports and musical training, education, rehabilitation, and human augmentation.

ThincMo Lab is launched at Texas A&M
The habit, intelligence, and computation in motor behavior lab (ThincMo lab) was officially launched at Texas A&M. We are excited to explore interesting ideas toward understanding motor skill learning and expertise.
Research Talk
Yue shared his research on habit and skill learning with the IPA lab (Intelligent Performance and Adaptation Laboratory) at Princeton University. Many thanks to the lab for the engaging discussion and thoughtful questions!
