there is certainly math going on in the brain at various levels, both equivalent models and identical sorts of calculations, it's not just fuzzy matching.

But probably not calculating trigonometry and calculus when juggling, right?

[–] Umbrias@beehaw.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

almost certainly doing those things and more (especially lin alg and diffeq solutions, and who knows what equivalent mathematical representations). Why wouldn't it? even stereotyped, there are subtle feedback variations you need to account for.
