Summary

The project aims at providing a better understanding of motor skill acquisition and learning processes.

The primary objectives of the study are to determine how practice conditions, i.e., variable and constant practice conditions, in motor learning affect Central Nervous System. There are three objectives:

1. to determine functional changes following constant and variable practice conditions in motor learning (resting-state fMRI)
2. to determine the EEG activation and connectivity between cognitive, sensory, and motor cerebral cortex areas (central, temporal, parietal, occipital) in constant and variable practice conditions and as a function of practice time.

Conditions

  • Neuroplasticity in Motor Learning

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Constant practice conditions

CG will be practicing only one specific pattern of step isometric contractions (SPSIC) scheme. It means that 90 trials in all training sessions will consist only of SPSIC 1.

BEHAVIORAL

Variable practice conditions

VG will practice three SPSIC's (1-3). Each SPSIC will be practiced 30 times per session, which means that each session will consist of 90 SPSIC like CG.
