Enhancement of sensory motor performance is vital in rehabilitation after brain injury. This short communication discusses a new approach in motor learning and rehabilitation: The error augmentation (EA) which utilizes incorrect visual and proprioceptive feedback to improve motor adaptation. In EA technology, the computer distinguishes and amplifies errors in a patient's movement from a preferred trajectory, or modifies the visual feedback of the movement trajectory, and consequently gives
