Touchscreen-based finger tapping: Repeatability and configuration effects on tapping performance [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects almost 2% of the population above the age of 65. To better quantify the effects of new medications, fast and objective methods are needed.

Autistic traits are associated with individual differences in finger tapping: an online study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 In a novel online study, we explored whether finger tapping differences are evident in people with autistic traits in the general population. We hypothesised that those with higher autistic traits would show more impairment in finger tapping, and that ...
