Project description
The aim of the project is to characterise atypical sensorimotor variability in children and adults with motor disorders and to investigate methods to manipulate and overcome this atypical variability. To this end, the objectives of the DC project are: (1) to investigate Event-Related changes in spectral EEG activity during active single hand task in children with dystonia , (2) to utilise non-invasive neurophysiological techniques to map typical and atypical trial to trial variability during task training, and (3) to implement ML-based system for pattern recognition
The expected results include improved motor learning performance of grasping tasks for children with dystonia. The overall aim of the project is to tackle the sensorimotor variability
