The focus of this research program is to examine the dynamic relationship between normal physiological tremor and voluntary movements. In the next five years, we will focus on the ability to self-modulate physiological tremor (PT), i.e., reduce its amplitude. More specifically, we will (a) examine how amplitude and spectral characteristics of PT are modified on the contralateral side when attempting to modulate PT of the dominant hand, (b) whether there exists a relationship between age, the capacity to voluntarily reduce PT amplitude and finger dexterity, and (c) determine whether practice can increase the self-modulation performance.

本研究计划的重点是研究正常生理震颤和自主运动之间的动态关系。在接下来的五年里，我们将专注于自我调节生理性震颤（PT）的能力，即降低其振幅。更具体地说，我们将(a)研究当试图调节优势手的PT时，对侧PT的振幅和频谱特征是如何被改变的，(b)年龄、自愿降低PT振幅的能力和手指灵巧度之间是否存在关系，以及(c)确定练习是否可以提高自调制性能。
