A new perspective on how we learn motor skills: two adaptation classes?

适应和获得运动技能的能力对于我们生活中几乎每个方面的成功都至关重要。这个项目将测试的想法，有两个根本不同的类运动学习过程中的大脑是由不同的错误类型驱动。使用大脑记录，机器人扰动运动，和经典学习范式的新变化，该项目的目的是揭示这些建议的适应类在一系列的感觉运动学习范式的神经计算特性。从这个项目中获得的知识可以确定新的战略，以适应广泛适用于工业，国防，体育和健康的运动。

The capacity to adapt and acquire movement skills is essential for success in almost every aspect of our lives. This project will test the idea that there are two fundamentally distinct classes of motor learning processes in the brain that are driven by different error types. Using brain recordings, robotic perturbation of movement, and novel variations of classical learning paradigms, the project aims to reveal the neurocomputational properties of these proposed adaptation classes across a range of sensorimotor learning paradigms. The knowledge gained from this project may identify new strategies for adapting movements that are widely applicable to industry, defence, sport, and health.
