This proposal aims to contribute to our understanding of basic neural mechanisms mediating rapid motor actions across our lifespan. One in four Australians will be over the age of 65 by the year 2056. The project plans to investigate how changes in brain structure and function, as well as alterations in cognitive processing abilities that occur in older age, affect rapid choices between various alternative motor actions as well as our ability to stop motor responses once they are planned. It plans to combine noninvasive brain stimulation with novel behavioural experiments and computational modelling techniques to develop fundamental new knowledge of the natural processes that characterise age-related changes in rapid motor actions.

该提案旨在帮助我们理解在我们的整个生命周期中介导快速运动动作的基本神经机制。到2056年，四分之一的澳大利亚人将超过65岁。该项目计划研究大脑结构和功能的变化，以及老年人认知处理能力的改变，如何影响各种替代运动动作之间的快速选择，以及我们一旦计划好就停止运动反应的能力。它计划将联合收割机非侵入性脑刺激与新颖的行为实验和计算建模技术相结合，以开发与快速运动动作中与记忆相关的变化有关的自然过程的基本新知识。
