| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted two experiments to find out whether or not motor learning can be promoted by exposure to a hyperbaric oxygen environment (1.3 atmospheres oxygen chamber). The motor tasks were a force control task by a unimanual reaching task using the phantom haptic device, and the inversion tracking task requiring sensory-motor transformations using a joystick. In each experiment, subjects were assigned to four groups of 8 in the former, and to five groups of 10 in the latter. These groups had different timing of exposure to hyperbaric oxygen in each experiment. This investigation showed that there was no statistical difference among the groups in each experiment.
