NCT03130322

Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

This study is designed to determine the neural networks underlying the sleep-related motor consolidation process following motor imagery practice. While beneficial effects of sleep are expected for sequential movement but not for adaptation motor tasks, the corresponding neuroanatomical correlates have not yet been investigated when participants acquired the motor tasks through mental practice. Data should substantially promote how designing motor imagery interventions targeting (re)learning and/or motor recovery in patients suffering from motor disorders.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evidence of MEG correlates of sleep motor consolidation (day 1)Day 1 at 19h00 [post-training] (Groups 1, 2 and 3) OR Day 1 at 9h00 [post-training] (Group 4)

The investigator will use Single Aperture Magnetometry, i.e. a minimum variance beamformer mapping the spatial distribution of event-related desynchronizations and synchronizations within a predetermined frequency domain (Beta oscillations 15-35 Hz). The time course of MEG Beta power will be considered, and Granger causal connectivity analyses will be performed to investigate relationships between cortical motor regions.

Evidence of MEG correlates of sleep motor consolidation (day 2)Day 2 at 9h00 [Retention test] (Groups 1, 2 and 3) OR Day 1 at 19h00 [Retention test] (Group 4)

The investigator will use Single Aperture Magnetometry, i.e. a minimum variance beamformer mapping the spatial distribution of event-related desynchronizations and synchronizations within a predetermined frequency domain (Beta oscillations 15-35 Hz). The time course of MEG Beta power will be considered, and Granger causal connectivity analyses will be performed to investigate relationships between cortical motor regions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of the motor tasksDay 1 at 19h00 [post-training] (Groups 1, 2 and 3) OR Day 1 at 9h00 [post-training] (Group 4)

The investigators will measure the number of errors and correct trials for each motor task (finger sequential tasks OR motor adaptation task).

Time needed to complete the motor tasks (day 1)Day 1 at 19h00 [post-training] (Groups 1, 2 and 3) OR Day 1 at 9h00 [post-training] (Group 4)

The investigators will measure the time needed to complete the motor tasks needed to complete each motor task (finger sequential tasks OR motor adaptation task).

Evidence of MEG correlates of sleep motor consolidationDay 2 at 9h00 [Retention test] (Groups 1, 2 and 3) OR Day 1 at 19h00 [Retention test] (Group 4)
