Research Abstract

With repeated training, we are able to do quicker and more accurately an intended movement. The brain activity is changed in the process. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the TMS-EEG technique can detect an alternation of the brain network with motor learning, especially in the relationship between the primary motor cortex and other brain regions.
After a week of sequential finger tapping training, the peak of evoked potentials and those latencies did not change among the sessions. A significant correlation between the performance and the degree of phase synchronization in trials was found in some areas, and those areas were changed depending on skill acquisition.
