Sensorimotor interaction in human motor control

这些研究集中在运动控制和感知中感觉和运动功能的相互作用。长期目标是了解感觉信息如何整合到运动控制中，以及感觉功能本身如何有助于运动学习。目前的研究特别涉及感官知觉是通过学习来改变的这一观点。这些研究从评估与语音产生相关的体感输入影响扬声器的声音分类的程度，以及更普遍的是，语音运动学习是否扭曲扬声器的听觉地图。手臂运动研究的平行研究提出了运动学习导致体感功能变化的观点。这些研究是由一个共同的兴趣在运动学习和控制的感觉基础，也是一个共同的方法，使用伺服控制的机器人操纵器提供精确的机械扰动的手臂或下巴。

These studies focus on the interplay of sensory and motor function in the control of movement and its perception. The long-term goal is to understand how sensory information is integrated in the control of movement and how sensory function on its own contributes to motor learning. The present studies deal in particular with the idea that sensory perception is modified by learning. The studies extend from an assessment of the degree to which somatosensory input related to speech production affects a speaker's sound classification and, more generally, whether speech motor learning warps a speaker's auditory map. Parallel studies of studies of arm movement address the idea that motor learning results in changes to somatosensory function. The studies are linked by a common interest in the sensory basis of motor learning and control and also a common methodology, the use of servo-controlled robotic manipulators to deliver precise mechanical perturbations to the arms or the jaw.
