Neuroimaging and perceptual-cognitive expertise in sport: A narrative review of research and future directions.

Perceptual-cognitive expertise is crucial in domains that require rapid extraction of information for anticipation (e.g., sport, aviation, warfighting).

The role of peripheral vision during decision-making in dynamic viewing sequences.

Decision-making in team sports necessitates monitoring multiple performers located at different distances (i.e., viewing eccentricities) from a critical information source.

Skill and experience impact neural activity during global and local biological motion processing.

During biological motion perception, individuals with perceptual experience learn to use more global processing, simultaneously extracting information from multiple body segments. Less experienced observers may use more local processing of individual body segments. The parietal lobe (e.

Skilled Performers Show Right Parietal Lateralization during Anticipation of Volleyball Attacks.

Global and local biological motion processing are likely influenced by an observer's perceptual experience. Skilled athletes anticipating an opponent's movements use globally distributed motion information, while less skilled athletes focus on single kinematic cues. Published reports have demonstrated that attention can be primed globally or locally before perceptual tasks; such an intervention could highlight motion processing mechanisms used by skilled and less skilled observers.

Anxiety does not always affect balance: the predominating role of cognitive engagement in a video gaming task.

Scientists have predominantly assessed anxiety's impact on postural control when anxiety is created by the need to maintain balance (e.g., standing at heights).
