| Research Abstract |
We planned this research project to investigate a causal relationship between the cerebral networks excitation and the kinesthetic perception by means of a cerebral stimulation the specific portions, which are considered as being associated with the kinesthetic perception. In the first experiment, we investigated the cerebral network underlying a kinesthetic illusion induced by a novel visual stimulation by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The second experiment was executed to clarify how kinesthetic perception and M1 excitability would be changed after the excitability modification in the supramarginal gyrus and primary sensory cortex (S1). In the third experiment, the effect of excitability change in M1 on the sensitivity of kinesthetic perception was investigated. The results in this study possibly indicated that M1 affects on kinesthetic perception.
