Outline of Final Research Achievements

When playing badminton, recognition of shuttle flight and decision of hitting in short time is necessary. But only few neuroscientific studies has been reported.
We measured brain wave (event related potential) when participant responded by pushing button at the time of shuttle hitting in video clip. The results suggest that badminton experts tend to collect more information during hitting the shuttle compared to non experts. Other experiment suggests the importance of sound in the video clip.
