βThe one weird trick no one knows aboutβ
I think you're probably right that there isn't a single term in movement science that's used in the way you're getting at, even though I suspect that many would share the intuition that there should be someting to describe the experience of 'moving well'. Look forward to seeing what you come up with
Kinaesthesia is the word for the sense of movement (as opposed to proprioception as the sense of relative joint positions), but it probably doesn't have the conotations you're after.
I think Maxine Sheets-Johnstone has written quite a bit about the aesthetic and emotional experience of movement

So, who's still left in the Tory party now?
Completely! Can't tell you how many times I've been nervously swiping about on a slightly raised stage with some other doofuses, only to look at Gwendolin dancing her socks off and feel reassured that we were on the right track. If you're in the 'Fast next Friday, come celebrate her with us!
A scene is made up of so many parts, some of which doΕΒ΄t get the credit they deserve. The DIY-alt-punk community of Belfast has been supercharged over the years by the inimitable Gwendolin Patterson. Come help us celebrate her and her 60th birthday next Friday - www.facebook.com/events_invit...

Oh man! Reeling from this news!
I was lucky to have Dave as my degree project supervisor, and enjoyed so many chats with him subsequently. His lectures on Bernstein and Gibson got me into the science I still do today. His gleeful curiosity about a prismatic range of topics was so infectious.
RIP
Wow, interesting! Sounds like a good discussion despite the mean photoshopping π
Ouch, poor Will! π What's the Yes/No debate that's got everybody name-calling like this?
Is that Will on that rock?!? What is going on?!!
RIP Brian Wilson. For all his faults and troubles, he gifted the world an immeasurable treasure chest of harmonious gems. I am grateful to continue enjoying a life soundtracked by these jewels, especially during my formative teens. How deep is the ocean? youtu.be/X76ejh4EIV4?...
Archie Bell and also the Drells
but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine
That's a beauty! I remember a department seminar consisting entirely of consecutive slides about reciprocal 'short report' rebuttals in some cog sci journal. A boring airing of griveances about whether left thumb pressure reduces liberal views or whatever, inflating the h-index of both parties by 8
Well spotted Andrew! π
This paper describes our first stab at using principles of motor abundance as the basis for designing augmented feedback (movement sonification) for skill learning
Any comments/suggestions, particulalry about where to go next with this approach, are very welcome!

This is a new preprint by me, where I have written down my affordance based approach to UCM and similar methods for the first time in one place. Feedback very much appreciated!
