Outline of Final Research Achievements

Based on the computational model constructed already, we tried to explain changes in muscle activities observed during motor learning. We focused on the virtual surgery task of Barrads et al (2018) and reproduced the changes in muscle activities in two conditions of abrupt and gradual transformations of moment arms. Consequently, our model reproduced the experimental findings of non-uniform and uniform distributions of muscle activities in the two condition. This result is consistent with the changes of neuronal preference in the motor cortex reported in Golub et al. (2018). We therefore conclude that our computational model based on the muscle-synergy control hypothesis explains the information processing in the brain.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

身体運動に含まれる高次元自由度を縮約し、シナジーと呼ばれる低次元自由度で効率よく制御を行うとする「シナジー制御仮説」が提唱されている。実験的にシナジーの存在は確かめられているものの、どのようにシナジーが獲得されているのかは未解明であった。本研究で構築した計算論モデルにより、運動学習の行動的・生理的・神経活動的特徴を系統的に調べることができ、報告された実験結果を説明することができた。本研究の成果に基づき、小脳モデル・脳波実験・信号解析法などといった今後に繋がる展開も見せており、今後は運動制御に留まらず神経科学全般への発展が期待できる。
