@whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ it's so fascinating that a microscope reduces hand jitter! I guess it shows it's not strictly about motor control and more about coordination and lack of sufficient input fidelity?
@hailey @whitequark✧✦Catherine✦✧ interactive fine motor control is heavily defined by the feedback loop with your vision. your precision of manual dexterity goes up almost linearly with optical magnification, down to just a few microns in optimal conditions. magnification has even been shown to significantly reduce hand tremors in people with neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's.
