Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of different types of interventions (motor learning, somatosensory learning, observation task, mental imagery and tDCS) on the perception of pain and motor cortex excitability in healthy male subjects. This is an exploratory study of healthy subjects only.

Primary Outcome

We aim to assess the effects of the intervention (ML, SL, OT and MI) on motor cortex excitability as measured by the change in motor evoked potential (using transcranial magnetic stimulation) before and after the given intervention. * For ML: MEP will be measured before and after each ML sessions in the same subject (crossover design - ML sighted/MLblind/ML control). * For SL: MEP will be measured before and after the treatment session in the each groups (parallel design - 1 session per group).

Interventions

  • BEHAVIORAL Mental Imagery
  • DEVICE transcranial direct current stimulation
  • BEHAVIORAL Motor Learning
  • BEHAVIORAL Somatosensory Learning
  • BEHAVIORAL Observational Task
