We evaluated MRPs for a repetitive wrist flexion\/extension task to identify changes in the signal characteristics that are indicative of task performance and motor adaptation. Our experiment consisted of a custom-built isometric joystick that controls a cursor on screen, while EEG and EMG data are recorded. The participants (6 healthy adults) performed more than 60 task repetitions, including flexion, extension, and alternating wrist movements while using the joystick. Task performance was tracked as successes or failures based on the individual\u2019s ability to move the cursor to a target and hold the position. Our results show that MRP latency changes gradually with consecutive successful tasks (13\u201335%), and changes more abruptly (random) with failed tasks. Similarly, failed tasks see, on average, a 133.6\u202fms longer latency than successful tasks. Finally, statistical evaluation of MRP features identified three significant characteristics that can be used to distinguish between successful and failed tasks (Max Amplitude, Min Amplitude, P\u2013P Amplitude). This research suggests that MRPs change with motor adaptation and performance for volitional reaching tasks. We propose that long-term applications of this research include measuring learning rates and performance outcome predictions for healthy and impaired motor control assessment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnhum.2026.1845451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,31]],"date-time":"2026-07-31T10:52:58Z","timestamp":1785495178000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Motor related potential amplitude and latency shifts with repetitive task execution as an indication of motor adaptation"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Julian A.","family":"Martinez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, University at Buffalo","place":["Buffalo, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ghazala T.","family":"Saleem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Science, University at Buffalo","place":["Buffalo, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sue Ann","family":"Sisto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Science, University at Buffalo","place":["Buffalo, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Albert H.","family":"Titus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, University at Buffalo","place":["Buffalo, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Filip","family":"Stefanovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, University at Buffalo","place":["Buffalo, NY, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1016\/j.clinph.2016.11.001","article-title":"Influence of attention alternation on movement-related cortical potentials in healthy individuals and stroke patients","volume":"128","author":"Aliakbaryhosseinabadi","year":"2017","journal-title":"Clin.
