Description	Incentives act to improve the speed and accuracy of our behaviour. Velocity measurements in human saccades demonstrate that reward increases movement vigour. Remarkably, this is achieved without a cost to movement accuracy. I will present a recent study that suggests that control precision may itself carry a cost. The cost of control can be framed at a cognitive level, and mathematically described by the magnitude of control signals. This formulation captures the accuracy requires effort.
