EPHE 245 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Robotic Arm, Motor Program, Peripheral Neuropathy
Document Summary
When you tap your arm, receptors make neurons fire, electrical signal goes up the arm to spinal cord, then goes to brain (primary sensory strip) When you cut the process at any point, you are deafferented. Stimulation of the brain in the part that controls movement of the arm moves the robotic arm. Jan is quadrapeligic after a car accident: robotic arm attached to jan, and can start to feed herself a chocolate bar (2012) Jan just thinks about moving her arm and the robot arm moves: motor learning. Feedback: feedback based control, throw out limb, see whats happening, adjust and then move again. Jan and monkey cannot use this type of planning because they do not get any feedback (besides visual) Some form of pre planning (ie. programming: plan it all in advance, a(cid:455) (cid:862)a(cid:396)(cid:373) this is (cid:449)hat i (cid:449)a(cid:374)t (cid:455)ou to do(cid:863), push a (cid:271)utto(cid:374) a(cid:374)d boom. All of this stuff adds up and equals a procedural memory.
