| Research Abstract |
Even if we situated in unfamiliar environments with any kinematic and/or dynamic transformations, we can adapt to them in several trials-and-errors. As a consequence of the motor learning process, we can acquire a neural representation of the relation between motor command and the movement, i.e. internal model of the environment. However, it is still open question to explain the neural representation, i.e. how the internal models are represented in our brains. We clarified the intra-cerebral mechanisms to recognize unfamiliar environments and to generate suitable motor commands through psychophysical experiments and computational modeling of human movement learning and applied its mechanism to EEG-FES system for stroke rehabilitation.
