| summary | Motor learning is dependent upon plasticity in motor areas of the brain, but does it occur in isolation or does it result in changes to sensory systems as well? I will describe a series of new studies on sensorimotor learning where the central hypothesis is that learning changes both sensory and motor areas of the brain. Using both speech production and human arm movement as models of motor learning, I will show that motor learning alters sensory areas of the brain and that these changes are associated with measurable changes to perceptual function. I will also show preliminary results that test a complementary hypothesis that perceptual training alters motor areas of the brain and likewise produce changes to motor function and movement. |
