Sensorimotor adaptation and learning: state-of-the-art and future directions
State-of-the-art | a. Separate models for different adaptation processes: error, reinforcement, |
and use-dependency. | |
b. Neural conditions and neural circuits associated with separate learning processes. | |
c. Experiments and models that focus on short-term (i.e., single day) adaptation | |
and retention. | |
Future directions | a. Studies and models that focus on the interaction of multiple learning processes, |
and exploiting these interacting and or redundant processes for neurorehabilitation. | |
b. Research paradigms that focus on how motor controllers are constructed from | |
scratch (de novo) to better understand long-term learning and retention to | |
provide more effective and long-lasting patient outcomes. | |
c. Develop models / devices that co-adapt and incorporate how humans learn, | |
while optimizing assistance and resistance to maximize patient recovery. |
