The cognitive neuroscience of motor skill learning

产生熟练运动行为的能力对于我们生活中几乎所有方面的成功都至关重要，无论是参加体育运动，驾驶汽车，操作工作中的机器还是触摸打字。该项目旨在通过结合神经成像和脑刺激的尖端技术，确定大脑区域在运动技能学习中的因果作用。它预计将导致新的运动记忆是如何创建的，使熟练的运动行为的表达基本的新知识。从这个项目中获得的知识可以确定广泛适用于教育，工业，体育和健康的学习技能的新策略。

The capacity to produce skilled motor behaviour is essential for success in almost every aspect of our lives, whether it be playing sport, driving a car, operating machinery at work, or touch-typing. This project aims to establish the causal role of brain regions in motor skill learning by combining cutting-edge techniques in neuroimaging and brain stimulation. It is expected to lead to fundamental new knowledge on how new motor memories are created to enable the expression of skilled motor behaviour. The knowledge gained from this project may identify new strategies for learning skills that are widely applicable to education, industry, sport, and health.
