Abstract
We examine the possibility that sensory and motor adaptation may be induced via a sinusoidally incremented perturbation. This sinewave adaptation method provides superior data for fitting a parametric model than when using the standard step-function method of perturbation, due to the relative difficulty of fitting a decaying exponential vs. a sinusoid. Using both experimental data and simulations, we demonstrate the difficulty of detecting the presence of motor adaptation using a step-function perturbation, compared to detecting motor adaptation using our sinewave perturbation method.
