Sensorimotor learning under switching dynamics
… computational modelling to investigate how the sensorimotor system uses contextual information to create, update and recall motor memories. We first examine the role of muscle co-contraction in the learning of novel movement dynamics. We show that muscle co-contraction, as measured by surface …

Representation and Interaction of Sensorimotor Learning Processes
Human sensorimotor control is remarkably adept at utilising contextual information to learn and recall systematic sensorimotor transformations. Here, we investigate the motor representations that underlie such learning, and examine how motor memories acquired based on different contextual …

The use of audio stimulation to affect sensorimotor learning
Sensorimotor learning for the hand and fingers can be conducted using both hardware and software components, but the training regime is also important. Using repetitive sequence tapping allows measurement of defined metrics in a controlled, safe environment, and therefore statistical indications …

Effects of sensorimotor learning on the human mirror neuron system
… be reversed following a period of incompatible sensorimotor training. This result is built upon in Chapter 6: it is shown behaviourally that incompatible sensorimotor training can reduce automatic imitation effects, and, using functional magnetic resonance imaging, that it can reverse neural …

Sensorimotor learning and control in autism spectrum disorders: The role of sensorimotor integration.
… of the current thesis was to examine the role of sensorimotor integration during sensorimotor learning and control processes in autism spectrum disorders. Autistic participants were matched (IQ, age, gender) with control participants across three experimental chapters (chapters three-five) within …

MaGKeyS : a haptic guidance keyboard system for facilitating sensorimotor training and rehabilitation
… guidance technology designed to facilitate sensorimotor training and rehabilitation. MaGKeyS works by employing active magnetic force to guide finger pressing movements during sensorimotor learning that involves sequential key presses, such as playing the piano. By combining this haptic …

Neural Encoding of Prior Experience in Sensorimotor Behavior
… I conclude with a broader perspective on sensorimotor learning.

Cell Type-Specific Roles of FoxP Transcription Factors in Vocalization and Cognition
… in neural circuits mediating vocalization and sensorimotor learning. Their known gene targets regulate neuronal development, activity, and plasticity, and animal models of FoxP2 and FoxP1 function have linked some of these molecular functions with neurophysiological and behavioral phenotypes. …

Investigations into controllers for adaptive autonomous agents based on artificial neural networks.
… and implement a unified architecture integrating sensorimotor learning and overall control. This was intended to overcome shortcomings of typical behaviour-based approaches in reactive control settings. It was achieved in two stages. Initially, feedforward neural networks were used at the …

The effects of proprioceptive training and dyad practice to improve sensorimotor function
… of proprioceptive training and dyad practice on sensorimotor function. It is well established that the human motor and sensory systems are closely linked, such that changes in motor training affect proprioceptive performance and vice versa, and that it affects neural processing in both motor and …
