Optimizing movement: understanding the role of central set in motor control

人类通过有目的的运动与环境中的物体互动。中枢神经系统帮助微调这些动作，使它们尽可能高效。这项研究计划的主要重点是对大脑如何使运动更有效率有一个基本的了解。这项研究将在人们准备和进行运动时测量大脑的活动。结果将告诉我们这种微调在大脑中如何以及在哪里发生，并确定哪些因素影响大脑使这些运动更有效率的能力。由于有效的运动是运动、工作和日常活动的一个重要方面，而且受到年龄、伤害或疾病的影响，这项研究影响了加拿大各行各业的人。

Humans interact with objects in their environment through purposeful movement. The central nervous system helps to fine-tune these movements to make them as efficient as possible. The main focus of this research program is to develop a basic understanding of how the brain contributes to making movement more efficient. This research will measure activity in the brain while people prepare for and carry out movement. The results will inform us on how and where this fine-tuning takes place in the brain and to identify what factors impact the brain's ability to make these movements more efficient. Because efficient movement is an important aspect of sport, work, and day-to-day activities, and is affected by aging, injury or disease, this research impacts Canadians from all walks of life.
