BE 534 Experimental techniques in motor neuroscience
The course introduces experimental methods used in the study of human motor control. Some techniques covered will include electroencephalography, electromyography, sensory stimulation, movement analysis (kinematics and kinetics), and transcranial magnetic stimulation. The course will include lectures, the study and discussion of published studies of motor control, the development of a research project investigating the sensorimotor system, and the collection and analysis of data using techniques introduced in class. Special focus will be placed on the use of experimental techniques to probe the motor system in the case of movement disorders.
