About Tony
I’m Tony Ingram — a neuroscience PhD, former competitive dancer, and ex-physical therapist specializing in neurorehabilitation. I’ve spent decades studying how we learn skills, both in academic research and in real-world settings.
Whether it was helping patients recover motor function, training myself for competition, or simply studying, I’ve always been fascinated by how we learn.
On this site I review the latest research and draw upon my experience to explain what works and why. And I’ll show you how to apply this science to your own skill learning journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I learn here?
We’ll review the science of learning and practice, which you can apply to anything. I’ll break down how you can apply the science to different types of goals: studying to learn information, practicing a movement skill for a sport or dance, and all at different levels of expertise.
But I do not provide tutorials for specific skills (for now) — for that, there’s already so much great content out there on the internet. What I want to help you with is how to best practice what’s shown in those tutorials.
For more, see one of my earliest blog posts about what I believe is missing from online learning.
You used to write about injuries and pain. Will you do that again?
Yes — you probably won’t hurt yourself studying, but when you’re learning a movement skill, nothing is more frustrating than getting injured and not being able to practice. And I happen to know a lot about that from my years as a physical therapist.
So yes, I plan to revise my old content on the prevention and management of injuries and chronic pain, then keep it updated for subscribers — it’s just not going to be the central theme of the website.
So where is all this content?
You’re here early! I just started this website, and it’s still majorly under construction.
I don’t think it will take me much longer, however — not only is most of the content in my head, but I’ve written about these topics before, in my PhD studies, and on my previous blog. Now I just need to revise all that content for the purposes of this site.
I hope to have the majority of the basics live in a few months. Then the plan is to keep updating things over time, adding more detail and nuance, staying on top of the research, etc.
