Brain plasticity in motor skill learning

In this longitudinal project, repeated structural and functional MRI scans of the brain were acquired from healthy volunteers who practiced learning a sequence of key presses, similar to piano training, over seven weeks. Changes in their brain structure and function were examined.

Principal Investigators: Prof. Martin Lövdén (GU). LEaP Lab members: Gaia Olivo, Sean Cully, practicum students.
