Cortical changes associated with sensorimotor learning
|
We are interested in better understanding how sensory and motor processing works in the brain. To do this we are conducting experiments that involve non-invasive brain stimulation and behavioral tasks.
The behavioral tasks involve sitting in front of a mirror and reaching to where you perceive various targets to be. At several points in the session, we use transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure activity in sensorimotor regions of the brain. This lets us find out what neural changes are associated with the behavioral tasks. TMS is considered very safe and has been in use for decades. |
