After a motor skill learning session, the brain replays correctly performed motor sequences backward and eliminates incorrectly performed ones for skill consolidation.

“However, there are also data that show that after a skill learning session, any kind of motor movement provided you're not bringing in a lot more additional new sensory stimuli, there's a replay of the motor sequence that you performed correctly and there's an elimination of the motor sequences that you performed incorrectly and they are run backward in time.”

“And then after the session, you need to do something very specific which is nothing.”

“If I just sit there and close my eyes for five to 10 minutes, even one minute, the brain starts to replay the motor sequence corresponding to the correct pattern movement, but it plays that sequence backward.”

“after the training session if I do nothing if I just sit there and close my eyes for 5 to 10 minutes even one minute the brain starts to re play the motor sequence in a way that appears important for the more rapid consolidation of the motor sequence of the pattern and to accelerated learning”
