The host for this talk is Professor Daniel Wolpert, Engineering Dept.

Motor learning can occur on many timescales—- from minutes to hours to years. Here I will discuss a form of short timescale motor learning called adaptation. I will discuss 4 questions related to walking adaptation: Why adapt? How well retained and general is this type of learning? What are the affects of focal brain damage? And do children adapt differently than adults? I will argue that an understanding of the processes is essential for neurorehabilitation and will discuss the transition from short time scale adaptation to more permanent learning.
