Complex Motor Learning With Motor Imaginary

Conditions

Learning Disturbance

Brief summary

Subjects participate in a motor learning training with a special bicycle. The experimental group proceed with 15 minutes of physical training with the bicycle and 15 minutes of rest where they use motor imaginary. The control group proceed equal except for the motor imaginary intervention.

Detailed description

Subjects participate in a motor learning training with a special bicycle. The experimental group proceed with 15 minutes of physical training with the bicycle and 15 minutes of rest where they use motor imaginary. The control group proceed equal except for the motor imaginary intervention. Participants will be controlled for vestibular system previous participation.

Interventions

OTHERMotor imaginary

Participants imagine doing a motor task watching a video recording

OTHERNon Motor imaginary

Participants watch a television documentary

OTHERtDCS

transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) stimulation during 20 minutes in the motor cortex (bilaterally) at 1mA of intensity.

OTHERtDCS sham

tDCS stimulation during 30 seconds in the motor cortex (bilaterally) at 1mA of intensity and then 19 minutes and 30 seconds without any stimulation.

OTHERNeurofeedback

EEG monitoring of the cerebral cortex in real time with positive feedback in the computer screen when participants motor cortex is activated. The positive feedback consist in an object that moves to the top of the screen when activation occurs in the motor cortex. This task last during 20 minutes.

OTHERNeurofeedback sham

EEG monitoring of the cerebral cortex in real time with randomized feedback in the computer screen despite motor cortex activation. The positive feedback consist in an object that moves to the top of the screen in a randomized time. This task last during 20 minutes.
