This project aims to provide greater understanding of the neural mechanisms by which initiation of motor responses can be improved by unexpected auditory stimulation. Initiating motor actions appears natural and effortless, but is underpinned by complex neural mechanisms that are not well understood. Using novel brain stimulation techniques, the project aims to assess the potential for properly timed strong sensory stimulation during movement preparation to induce neural plasticity and motor learning. This knowledge would have important implications across a number of fields, including neuroscience, sports science, and applied ergonomics.

这个项目的目的是提供更多的了解神经机制，通过这种机制，运动反应的启动可以通过意外的听觉刺激得到改善。启动运动动作似乎是自然和毫不费力的，但它是由复杂的神经机制所支撑的，这些机制还没有得到很好的理解。使用新的脑刺激技术，该项目旨在评估在运动准备过程中适当定时的强烈感觉刺激的潜力，以诱导神经可塑性和运动学习。这些知识将对许多领域产生重要影响，包括神经科学，运动科学和应用人体工程学。
