Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aimed to elucidate aspects of human motor skills and it's adaptation mechanisms to the dynamic characteristics of manipulated objects within human-machine physical interaction systems. We conducted multidimensional analyses based on various data obtained from measurements of cerebral blood flow dynamics, electromyography, motion analysis, and subjective evaluation during task execution. Throughout the research period, measurement experiments were conducted on various tasks and movements. By integrating analyses of muscle and brain activation states, motor characteristics, and subjective evaluations, we were able to reveal various insights into human response characteristics.
