Cortical inhibition and activation during sensorimotor tasks in an aquatic environment: a pilot EEG study based on expert-novice paradigm
These findings suggest that, through long-term training, swimmers develop enhanced sensorimotor adaptation during movement in aquatic environments. This adaptation appears to involve environment-specific cortical activation patterns, which may further facilitate motor execution in water.
