Many human activities, such as walking in a crowded hallway or steering a car to avoid an accident, involve making fast decisions while controlling one's movements. Researchers have extensively (but largely independently) studied human decision making and movement control so that their joint influence remains poorly understood. This CAREER award uses computational modeling, neurophysiological recording, and behavioral methods to address the real-time interplay between the evolving decision-making process and movement control during human reaching. Many neurological disorders such as stroke and Parkinson’s disease involve both motor and cognitive deficits. This research program aims to uncover the mechanisms that underpin the interplay between movement and decision making, paving the way for targeted, patient-specific neurorehabilitation of motor and cognitive deficits. The long-term goal is to create sustainable and reciprocal pipelines between research, education, and community outreach by focusing on the interplay between decision making and movement control. The investigator has a strong commitment to diversity and provides training opportunities underrepresented minorities and women undergraduate and graduate students. Open-access educational games and interactive programs will be developed and made freely available to grade-school and high-school students, with the aim of raising awareness about neurological disorders and inspiring a new and diverse generation of STEM scientists and industry leaders.The investigators merge computational models from optimal feedback control and decision sciences to understand how goal-related evidence influences the online control of movement. The subject's movements provide a real-time measure of the evolving decision-making process in order to assess 1) how rapid visuomotor feedback loops integrate and express both goal-related evidence and potential energetic cost and 2) whether reward boosts the need to modulate movement vigor and the efficacy of visuomotor feedback during decision making.This project is jointly funded by The Perception, Action, and Cognition (PAC) Program, the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), and the Decision, Risk, and Management Sciences (DRMS) Program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

许多人类活动，例如在拥挤的走廊上行走或转向汽车以避免事故，涉及在控制自己的运动时做出快速决定。研究人员已广泛（但很大程度上独立地）研究了人类决策和运动控制，以使他们的共同影响仍然很少理解。该职业奖使用计算建模，神经生理记录和行为方法，以解决不断发展的决策过程与人类到达期间的运动控制之间的实时相互作用。许多神经系统疾病，例如中风和帕金森氏病，都涉及运动和认知缺陷。该研究计划旨在揭示基于运动和决策之间相互作用的机制，从而粘贴了针对运动和认知缺陷的针对性，特定于患者的神经康复的道路。长期的目标是通过关注决策与移动控制之间的相互作用，在研究，教育和社区宣传之间建立可持续和互惠的管道。调查人员对多样性有坚定的承诺，并提供了代表性不足的少数民族和妇女本科生和研究生的培训机会。开放式教育游戏和互动计划将被开发并免费为年级和高中生的学生免费提供，以提高人们对神经系统疾病的认识，并启发新的和潜在的STEM科学家和行业领导者。受试者的动作提供了进化决策过程的实时度量，以评估1）视觉运动反馈循环如何综合并表达与目标相关的证据和潜在能源成本以及2）奖励是否需要提高运动活力的需要以及在决策过程中竞争的竞争性（PAC）的竞争性（PAC）的竞争性（PAC）的竞争（SCONCE）是否可以调节运动的效率，并促进了依据。 （EPSCOR）以及决策，风险和管理科学（DRMS）计划。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准，被视为通过评估来获得珍贵的支持。
