Information capacity of full-body movements
Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2013We present a novel metric for information capacity of full-body movements. It accommodates HCI scenarios involving continuous movement of multiple limbs. Throughput is calculated as mutual information in repeated motor sequences. It is affected by the complexity of movements and the precision with which an actor reproduces them.

Body and movement: Consciousness in the parietal lobes
Neuropsychologia, 2010A critical issue related to the notion of identity concerns our ability to discriminate between internally and externally generated stimuli. This basic mechanism likely relies on perceptual and motor information, and requires that both motor plans and the resulting activity be continuously mapped on a reliable body representation.

“The Experiencing Body”, for a Combination of Movements
2016This paper describes our experiment as artists, concerned by scientific investigations. Considering Gibson’s ecology of perception, Maintier, Rybak, Zinke’s experiments and theories, we have also described our performances and cross studied what a practice of Art performance and scientific experimentation can tell each other and how they could most ...

Monitoring Fetal Body Movement
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1987Early in gestation the fetus is active, with movements reflecting several different central nervous system functions. Specific muscle actions of the limbs and trunk respond to different brain stimuli. Sporadic head, trunk, and limb motions that are spastic in quality eventually give way to more combined, sustained, and regular motions as integration ...

Fetal Body Movement Monitoring
Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1990Recording fetal activity serves as an indirect measure of central nervous system integrity and function. The coordination of whole body movement, which requires complex neurologic control, is likely similar to that of the newborn infant. Short-term observations of the fetus are best performed using real-time ultrasound imaging.

DISTRACTION AND BODY-FOCUSED HAND MOVEMENTS
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1992The hypothesis that apparently irrelevant self- or object-manipulatory hand movements may act as a means of coping with distraction was tested by experimentally manipulating the amount and type of distraction experienced by 10-year-old children while they engaged in the Stroop colour-confusion and colour-naming tasks.
