Inability to use the arm in daily actions significantly lowers quality of life after stroke. Most
contemporary post-stroke arm rehabilitation strategies that aspire to re-engage the weaker …

Background: Neurofeedback has been proposed as a treatment for Parkinson's disease
(PD) motor symptoms by changing the neural network activity directly linked with movement …

Human motor control requires the coordination of muscle activity under the anatomical
constraints imposed by the musculoskeletal system. Interactions within the central nervous …

Information transmission in the human brain is a fundamentally dynamic network process. In
partial epilepsy, this process is perturbed and highly synchronous seizures originate in a …

Coherence analysis has the ability to identify the presence of common descending drive
shared by motor unit pools and reveals its spectral properties. However, the link between …

In neuromotor control, the dimensionality of complex muscular activation patterns is
effectively reduced through the emergence of muscle synergies. Muscle synergies are …

When walking speed is increased, the frequency ratio between the arm and leg swing
switches spontaneously from 2: 1 to 1: 1. We examined whether these switches are …

During force production, hand muscle activity is known to be coherent with activity in primary
motor cortex, specifically in the beta-band (15–30 Hz) frequency range. It is not clear …

Many studies have shown that focusing on an intended movement effect that is farther away
from the body (distal external focus) results in performance benefits relative to focusing on …

Variability in muscle force is a hallmark of healthy and pathological human behavior.
Predominant theories of sensorimotor control assume 'motor noise'leads to force variability …
