Effects of Olfactory Stimuli on Arm-Reaching Duration [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2008 The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of olfactory stimuli on visually guided reaching. In Experiment 1, participants reached toward and grasped either a small (almond/strawberry) or a large (apple/orange) visual target. Any 1 of 4 odors corresponding to the visual stimuli or odorless air was administered before movement ...

Unifying Speed-Accuracy Trade-Off and Cost-Benefit Trade-Off in Human Reaching Movements
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Two basic trade-offs interact while our brain decides how to move our body. First, with the cost-benefit trade-off, the brain trades between the importance of moving faster toward a target that is more rewarding and the increased muscular cost resulting ...

Monitoring Arm Movements Post-Stroke for Applications in Rehabilitation and Home Settings
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Optimal recovery of arm function following stroke requires patients to perform a large number of functional arm movements in clinical therapy sessions, as well as at home.

Separation of Visual and Motor Workspaces During Targeted Reaching Results in Limited Generalization of Visuomotor Adaptation [PDF]
, 2013 Separating visual and proprioceptive information in terms of workspace locations during reaching movement has been shown to disturb transfer of visuomotor adaptation across the arms.

Spiral structure in the outer galactic disk, I: the third galactic quadrant [PDF]
, 2007 We combine optical and radio observations to trace the spiral structure in the third quadrant of the Milky Way. The optical observations consist of a large sample of young open clusters and associations, whereas the radio observations consist of a survey

Movement kinematics and proprioception in post-stroke spasticity: assessment using the Kinarm robotic exoskeleton [PDF]
, 2019 Background Motor impairment after stroke interferes with performance of everyday activities. Upper limb spasticity may further disrupt the movement patterns that enable optimal function; however, the specific features of these altered movement patterns,

Reptation and contour-length fluctuations in melts of linear polymers [PDF]
, 1998 We present an analytical theory of stress relaxation in monodisperse linear polymer melts that contains contributions from both reptation and contour-length fluctuations, modeled as in our previous work on arm retraction in star polymers.

Impairments of the arm and hand are highly correlated during subacute stroke
Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, 2023 Background: The classical description of poststroke upper limb impairment follows a proximalto-distal impairment gradient. Previous studies are equivocal on whether the hand is more impaired than the arm.
