About

Soyoung Kim is a cognitive neuroscientist whose research focuses on the neural mechanisms of motor control and learning, particularly in the context of neurodevelopmental disorders. Her most cited work, "Impaired forward model updating in young adults with Tourette syndrome" (2018, 20 citations), represents a significant contribution to understanding how the brain uses internal models—specifically forward models—to predict and control movement. This study demonstrated that individuals with Tourette syndrome show deficits in updating these predictive models, offering new insights into the motor control challenges associated with the condition. Kim's research bridges computational theories of motor control with clinical neuroscience, providing a framework for understanding how disrupted internal modeling contributes to tic disorders. Her work has been influential in advancing the field's understanding of predictive coding in the motor system and has implications for developing targeted interventions. Through her careful experimental designs and theoretical rigor, Kim has established herself as a rising voice in the study of motor learning and its dysfunctions in clinical populations.
