Brief Summary

Motor adaptation is guided by state estimation, a dynamic prediction of the interaction consequences between body and environment in the sensorimotor system. Previous studies have shown that the poste...

Detailed Description

This was a single-blind, sham-controlled study. All participants were randomized to the PPC, cerebellum, and sham stimulation group. The ankle tracking system was used to record the ankle tracking vis...
