Color-induced cognitive conflicts affect muscle activity prior to gait initiation in the Go/No-go task
These findings suggest that the conflict between prior knowledge of color related to traffic rule and the meaning of the stimulus color affects muscle activity but not COP characteristics during gait initiation, highlighting two distinct motor control mechanisms, where the initial phase is influenced by cognitive load while the subsequent phase remains unaffected. This dissociation suggests that the later phase of gait initiation relies on robust spinal loops and central pattern generators, which are less influenced by cognitive factors such as prior knowledge.
