    Abstract

    Intense sensory stimuli can facilitate movement. This thesis examines the mechanistic neural underpinnings of such facilitation. The findings suggest voluntary motor pathways can be enhanced by sensory stimuli, a suggestion which has long been a point of contention. Further insights regarding action preparation, initiation, and execution have also been gained. Finally, recommendations are made for the use of intense sensory stimuli in improving rehabilitation protocols for neurological conditions which are marked by impaired movement control.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
