| Research Abstract |
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) could maintain tapping speed in the finger tapping paradigm when the target stimuli were presented. However, in case of the speed of the target was incongruent with tapping speed ; PD patients could not keep ideal speed. These results imply that PD patient have not only motor disturbances but they also have deficit of internal timing formation mechanism.
