| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the neural mechanisms of sensorimotor control and associated changes in sense of agency by using neurofeedback. First, a setup of real-time processing as well as feedback presentation system of fMRI was made to a newly introduced MRI machine within our research center. Using this real-time system, fMRI neurofeedback experiments were conducted, in which the participants regulated their brain activation patterns guided by with their neurofeedback score. This study showed that the participants could regulate their brain activity of the sensorimotor cortex involved in motor learning and sense of agency.
