Movement Sonification: Effects on Motor Learning beyond Rhythmic Adjustments

Motor learning is based on motor perception and emergent perceptual-motor representations. A lot of behavioral research is related to single perceptual modalities but during last two decades the contribution of multimodal perception on motor behavior was discovered more and more. A growing number of studies indicates an enhanced impact of multimodal stimuli on motor perception, motor control an...

On voluntary rhythmic leg movement behaviour and control during pedalling.

The overall purpose of the present dissertation was to contribute to the understanding of voluntary human rhythmic leg movement behaviour and control. This was achieved by applying pedalling as a movement model and exposing healthy and recreationally active individuals as well as trained cyclists to for example cardiopulmonary and mechanical loading, fatiguing exercise, and heavy strength train...

Movement Coordination or Movement Interference: Visual Tracking and Spontaneous Coordination Modulate Rhythmic Movement Interference

When an actor performs a rhythmic limb movement while observing a spatially incongruent movement he or she exhibits increased movement orthogonal to the instructed motion. Known as rhythmic movement interference, this phenomenon has been interpreted as a motor contagion effect, whereby observing the incongruent movement interferes with the intended movement and results in a motor production err...

Electromyographic Studies of the Gastro- Intestinal Tract I. the Correlation between Mechanical Movement and Changes in Electrical Potential during Rhythmic Contraction 0f the Intestine

Action currents from the intact musculature of the intestine do not follow the simple forms described in the textbooks as characteristic for skeletal muscle. When recorded they show themselves usually as irregular curves of varying form. Often the records of the electric potential will show a wave-like form which will be more or less regular for a time and in phase with the mechanical contracti...
