The hand is one of the most fascinating and sophisticated biological motor systems. The
complex biomechanical and neural architecture of the hand poses challenging questions for …

Evidence suggests that the CNS uses motor primitives to simplify movement control, but
whether it actually stores primitives instead of computing solutions on the fly to satisfy task …

How does evolution grow bigger brains? It has been widely assumed that growth of
individual structures and functional systems in response to niche-specific cognitive …

Dr. Anatol G. Feldman is one of the world's foremost neuroscientists in the area of motor
control. His work has had a strong and sustained influence in behavioral neuroscience since …

The human hand is a complex organ capable of both gross grasp and fine motor skills.
Despite many successful high-level skeletal control techniques, animating realistic hand …

Brain signals can provide the basis for a non-muscular communication and control system, a
brain–computer interface (BCI), for people with motor disabilities. A common approach to …

Motor representations express some degree of somatotopy in human primary motor hand
area (M1 HAND), but within-M1 HAND corticomotor somatotopy has been difficult to study …

Modern brain-machine interfaces can return function to people with paralysis, but current
upper extremity brain-machine interfaces are unable to reproduce control of individuated …

This study tests the hypothesis that temporal response patterns in primary auditory cortex
are potentially relevant for voice onset time (VOT) encoding in two related experiments. The …
