The effects of pain on motor learning
Learning new ways to move the body is an incredibly important part of physical rehabilitation and there are many factors that have the potential to influence how well new movements are acquired or remembered. Pain and cognition are two such factors, however it is currently not well understood how …

The role of planning in motor learning
Humans can learn a remarkable diversity of motor skills. While these skills are sometimes long lasting, they may also be subject to interference. For example, people can learn to reach in the presence of a dynamic (force-field) perturbation generated by a robotic interface. However, when two force …

Cognitive effort in contextual interference and implicit motor learning
… accounts of contextual interference and implicit motor learning from the perspective of cognitive effort. Three key outcomes have emerged. First, from a theoretical perspective, the thesis offers a previously unexplored account for the contextual interference effect – one that potentially explains …

Measurement of finger coordination during a motor learning task
… over time in a series of isometric force control learning tasks. During a series of trials with real-time visual feedback of the five finger forces, subjects adapted their grasp strategy in order to reach the target in a time efficient manner. In early trials, it is very evident that subjects …

Multifocal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Modulate Motor Learning
… brain regions, influencing processes such as motor learning. While tDCS has been previously shown to benefit motor skill acquisition, much of this research has focused on relatively simple, unimanual tasks. Conversely, the effects of tDCS on more complex, bimanual motor tasks remain …

The impact of haptic guidance on musical motor learning
… demonstrations of the upper limits of the human motor system's capabilities. It is therefore not surprising that learning to play an instrument is a long and difficult process. Teachers and education researchers alike have long since recognized that while learning rate is dependent on the …

Effects of XR Technology on Motor Learning in Fencing
… components first generally demonstrated higher learning levels, supporting the part-task training strategy in fencing instruction, although no significant influence of learning environment type on learning levels was observed. This study provides valuable insights into fencing pedagogy and …

Modulation of motor learning with high-intensity transcranial electric stimulation
… done commonly in the literature, we targeted the motor cortex (M1), specifically in the context of neuroplastic changes taking place during motor learning in healthy adult humans. This work also seeks a better understanding of the neural correlates underlying motor skill learning.</p> <p>Through …

Accelerated and improved motor learning and rehabilitation using kinesthetic feedback
… in the United States [roughly 8%] have a basic motor skill inability [13], many stemming not from atrophy, but an improper mapping from the brain to the motor system. Devices exist today to aid people in rebuilding their motor system mappings, but do so in bulky, and inconvenient ways, since …

Motor learning on a heaving plate via improved-SNR algorithms
… engineered solutions. Model-free reinforcement learning (MFRL) holds the promise of allowing man-made controllers to take advantage of the subtlety of fluid-body interactions solely using data gathered on the actual system to be controlled. In this thesis, improved MFRL algorithms, motivated by …

Second Skin : motion capture with actuated feedback for motor learning
… feedback for the purpose of improving users' motor-learning ability. Such a system would track a user's body and limb movements as he or she performs an action, and then give the user automatic, real-time tactile feedback to aid in the correction of movement and position errors. This thesis …

Understanding the Mechanisms of Motor Learning in the Vestibulo-ocular Reflex
… velocity) can be increased or decreased during motor learning. It is thought that the memory for learned changes in the VOR gain is initially encoded within the cerebellar flocculus. Furthermore, these learned gain changes can be disrupted or consolidated into a long-term memory. In this thesis …
