Assessing Brain–Muscle Connectivity in Human Locomotion through Mobile Brain/Body Imaging: Opportunities, Pitfalls, and Future Directions

Frontiers in Public Health, 2018
Assessment of the cortical role during bipedalism has been a methodological challenge. While surface electroencephalography (EEG) is capable of non-invasively measuring cortical activity during human locomotion, it is associated with movement artifacts ...

Superior cervical vertebrae of a Miocene hominoid and a Plio-Pleistocene hominid from southern Africa [PDF]

, 2000
The Miocene hominoid and Plio-Pleistocene hominid vertebral record is poor. In 1994, a complete atlas of a hominoid was found in breccia at Berg Aukas in Namibia. Its age was estimated to be middle Miocene (13 myr) on the basis of microfauna.

On the simple calculation of walking efficiency without kinematic information for its convenient use

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 2019
Background Since walking is a daily activity not to require the maximal effort in healthy populations, a very few universal bio-parameters and/or methods have been defined to evaluate individual walking characteristics in those populations. A concept of “

Was human evolution driven by Pleistocene climate change? [PDF]

, 2014
Modern humans are probably a product of social and anatomical preadaptations on the part of our Miocene australopithecine ancestors combined with the increasingly high amplitude, high frequency climate variation of the Pleistocene.

Bipedalism and pelvic floor disorders, an evolutionary medical approach

Continence Reports
Evolutionary medicine can help to better understand the basis of pelvic floor disorders. Some evidences of the anthropological literature are reviewed, with emphasis on the paleontological clues and phylogenetic comparison of cephalo-pelvic relations in ...

Rethinking Phylogeny and Ontogeny in Hominin Brain Evolution [PDF]

, 2012
Theories of hominin and human cognitive evolution have traditionally focused on the phylogeny of the human brain, and on comparisons of human and primate brains in relation to social or ecological variables.

The Evolution of Hominid Bipedalism [PDF]

, 2006
Paleoanthropologists mark the divergence between apes and hominids with the adaptation ofbipedalism five to six million years ago. In this paper, I argue that while the first upright hominids occurred in this time frame, the process ofbecoming a fully ...
