https://researchmap.jp/tikegamiMy research focuses on human motor control and learning. The goal of my research is to understand how the nervous system manipulates and acquires a variety of complex and skilled movements as performed in everyday life and during sports activities. To address this question, I investigate the neural mechanisms of sensorimotor control and learning by observing human behavior, constructing computational models to explain behavior, and measuring brain activity.
