Initial Skill Development Using a Brain Cycle: A Case Series ofExperienced Riders and Its Implications for Sustainable Development By Badhushan S S and Prof. (Dr.) Sosamma John

Abstract Learning to operate a “brain cycle,” a modified bicycle with inverted steering mechanics,serves as a compelling model for studying cognitive flexibility, motor adaptation, and theprocess of unlearning. The present study aimed to investigate the motor learning skilldevelopment of experienced cyclists adapting to reversed control dynamics. The studyanalyses motor learning patterns, error correction behaviour, and neuro-cognitive adaptation.Data from five experienced adult riders were collected over two weeks of training sessions.Findings revealed an initial performance drop followed by gradual improvement, withadaptation emerging after 3–6 hours of cumulative practice. The process mirrors…
