Complex Motor Learning With Motor Imaginary

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.

Study Overview

• Status: Unknown
• Conditions: Learning Disturbance
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: Motor imaginary; Other: Non Motor imaginary; Other: tDCS; Other: tDCS sham; Other: Neurofeedback; Other: Neurofeedback sham

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Motor imaginary; Intervention with Motor imaginary with video	Other: Motor imaginary; Participants imagine doing a motor task watching a video recording
Experimental: Non Motor imaginary; Intervention with Rest without motor imaginary	Other: Non Motor imaginary; Participants watch a television documentary
Experimental: tDCS; tDCS stimulation during 20 minutes in the motor cortex.	Other: tDCS; transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) stimulation during 20 minutes in the motor cortex (bilaterally) at 1mA of intensity.
Sham Comparator: tDCS sham; tDCS stimulation during 30 seconds in the motor cortex and then 19 minutes and 30 seconds without any stimulation.	Other: tDCS 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.
Experimental: Neurofeedback; EEG monitoring in real time with positive feedback in the computer screen when participants motor cortex is activated.	Other: Neurofeedback; 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.
Sham Comparator: Neurofeedback sham; EEG monitoring in real time with randomized feedback in the computer screen despite the motor cortex activation.	Other: Neurofeedback 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.
