Neuroplasticity and Neurorehabilitation Research Lab Tours
Would your school or community group like to learn about how the human brain controls movement? We'd love for you to join us for a lab tour!
Dr. Cameron Mang receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation.
EXAMPLE LAB TOUR LEARNING OUTCOMES
1) Describe and provide examples of chronic neurological conditions that affect human
movement.
2) Gain an understanding of different parts of the nervous system involved in controlling human movement.
3) Discuss three laboratory techniques (transcranial magnetic stimulation, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, electromyography) that can be used to study how the nervous system control movement.
EXAMPLE LEARNER ACTIVITIES
1) Students will observe short videos demonstrating common motor impairments among people with neurological conditions.
2) Students will record muscle activity in their own muscles (i.e., surface electromyography applied and recorded from participating students).
3) Students will observe a demonstration of delivery of transcranial magnetic stimulation (form of brain stimulation) and neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
4) Students will participate in a short brain/nervous system trivia game.
