Research Abstract |
To adjust to changes in external environments during movement, it is quite effective to appropriately control the reaction (so-called reflex) unconsciously executed from the sensory input in a short latency. We examined how somatosensory reflex control is done during movement. The results showed that somatosensory reflex amplitude was modulated quickly (about 0.1 sec) in response to dynamical change in environment and that somatosensory reflex modulation also occurred to the visual change, suggesting flexible reflex control depending on external environments.
