The hand endows us with unparalleled precision and versatility in our interactions with
objects, from mundane activities such as gras** to extraordinary ones such as virtuoso …

Considerable progress has been made in develo** models of cerebellar function in
sensorimotor control, as well as in identifying key problems that are the focus of current …

Motor cortex (M1) has been thought to form a continuous somatotopic homunculus
extending down the precentral gyrus from foot to face representations,, despite evidence for …

Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia
to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because …

Objective: Numerous reports advocate that training of the proprioceptive sense is a viable
behavioral therapy for improving impaired motor function. However, there is little agreement …

Intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex offers the potential for creating a
sensory neuroprosthesis to restore tactile sensation. Whereas animal studies have …

This paper concerns how motor actions are neurally represented and coded. Action
planning and motor preparation can be studied using a specific type of representational …

Based on theoretical and computational studies it has been suggested that the central
nervous system (CNS) internally simulates the behaviour of the motor system in planning …

Rationality principles such as optimal feedback control and Bayesian inference underpin a
probabilistic framework that has accounted for a range of empirical phenomena in biological …

Out of all the human senses, touch is the one that is most often unappreciated, and
undervalued. Yet, the surface of the human body, the skin, is actually one huge sheet of …
