2010.04.23 - NCM: Day 3

    • Monica Perez - TMS proximal and distal muscles are coactivated
    • Marco Davare - Understanding cortic-cortical interactions
      • PMv and M1 interact during precision grip only
      • Stroke should not be interpreted just as a loss of functional tissue but also as a loss of connectivity
    • Giacomo Koch - Posterior parietal and primary motor cortex
    • Celnik - Cerebellar and primary motor cortex interactions
      • Locomotor adaptation and the role of cerebellar depression
      • Cerebellum is used for acquisition but not for retention
    • Charles Schroeder - Brain oscillations
    • Jonathan Wolpaw - Sensorimotor cortical rhythms
      • Coherence between beta waves and EMG (24 Hz)
      • Using SIGFRID to decode gamma rhythms
    • Gary Paige - Oscillations what are they?
    • Joseph Galea - Disassociating the role of the cerebellum and M1 during adaptive learning
      • Motor cortex retains what the Cerebellum learns
    • Dinant Kistemaker - CNS minimization of energy cost in reaching movements does not occur in a novel force field
      • If you point out the "easy way" to people they recognize the energy efficient path and acknowledge that it is much "easier", maybe this is a cognitive problem.
    • Kunlin Wei (Kording) - Neuromodulators as transmitters of gain
      • Strong force with one muscle should cause variability in another muscle
      • If one force goes away it should effect the remaining force
      • Maximal contraction of arms will change the knee reflex magnitude
    • Ben-Gurion - Handshake turing test
    • Wei-Wu - Coupling time decoding and trajectory decoding with a target included model in the motor cortex
      • Using both time and trajectory information you can more accurately decode neural information
    • Ben Huh (Todorov) - Infinite horizon optimal control for bio motor control
