Cerebellar Functions in Visuomotor Adaptation

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Healthy Participants

In brief

Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS) will be used in this study to functions of the cerebellum in human motor learning. Participants will complete a visuomotor task while receiving stimulation pulses from tFUS. How tFUS stimulation influencing the acquisition and retention of motor memory will be assessed based on group comparison of behavioral measures such as reaching accuracy.
