How do we improve our aim? By getting feedback from our successes and failures.
TL;DR: Add an option to have a red dot appear when you click someplace that's not a circle, so that when you miss a circle, you see exactly where you missed. This is to give you more feedback to learn aim much quicker.
If we try to move cursor to position X and then we succeed, dopamine is released and the neural connections that led up to the success gets reinforced.
If we try to move cursor to position X and then we fail, either the neural connections that led to the cursor movements simply don't get reinforced, or the lack of dopamine actually weakens those neural connections.
This process makes sure that the pattern of neural firing that causes you to hit instead of miss circles will win out over other patterns over time.
But this process also includes intelligent feedback. (That's the hypothesis, anyway.) So if you miss by a lot, the neural pattern gets weakened (pruned/punished) by a lot, and if you miss by only a little, the neural pattern gets weakened a little or not at all. But this learning via intelligent feedback can only happen if you know whether you missed by a lot or by a little.
Furthermore, if there is a mechanism in the brain to the effect that if you miss to the left of the circle, neural patterns to that leads to clicking slightly to the right of that point gets reinforced, then you can learn even faster by knowing precisely where you missed. I believe such a mechanism exists, but I'm not sure.
