In primates, control of the limb depends on many cortical areas. Whereas specialized
parietofrontal circuits have been proposed for different movements in macaques, functional …

Much of the central nervous system is involved in visuomotor transformations for goal-
directed gaze and reach movements. These transformations are often described in terms of …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

To plan a reaching movement, the brain must integrate information about the location of the
target with information about the limb selected for the reach. Here, we applied rapid event …

The sensory signals that drive movement planning arrive in a variety of'reference frames',
and integrating or comparing them requires sensory transformations. We propose a model in …

Several spaces around the body have been described, contributing to interactions with
objects (peripersonal) or people (interpersonal and personal). The sensorimotor and …

Defensive behaviors, such as withdrawing your hand to avoid potentially harmful
approaching objects, rely on rapid sensorimotor transformations between visual and motor …

It is generally accepted that interactions between parietal and frontal cortices subserve the
visuomotor processing for eye and hand movements. Here, we used a sequential-instruction …

Neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies have shown that the posterior parietal cortex
(PPC) distinguishes between the planning of eye and hand movements. This distinction has …

Early detection of movement intention could possibly minimize the delays in the activation of
neuroprosthetic devices. As yet, single trial analysis using non-invasive approaches for …
