Attentional focus modulates automatic finger-tapping movements [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
The majority of human behaviors are composed of automatic movements (e.g., walking or finger-tapping) which are learned during nurturing and can be performed simultaneously without interfering with other tasks.

Construction and evaluation of a neurofeedback system using finger tapping and near-infrared spectroscopy [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroimaging
IntroductionNeurofeedback using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used in patients with stroke and other patients, but few studies have included older people or patients with cognitive impairment.MethodsWe constructed a NIRS-based neurofeedback ...

Dataset of Smartphone-Based Finger Tapping Test. [PDF]

Sci Data
AbstractThe finger tapping test (FTT) is a neuropsychological test that measures motor speed and coordination. It involves tapping a designated surface with a specific finger as quickly as possible for a certain duration. Touchscreen of smartphones has been used as interface to record the tap, what enables to extract information about the taps.

A Three-Dimensional Finger-Tapping Framework for Recognition of Patients With Mild Parkinson’s Disease

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
The finger tapping test is a widely-used and important examination in the Movement Disorder Society Clinical Diagnosis for Parkinson’s Disease. However, finger tapping motion could be affected by age, medication, and other conditions. As a result,

Abbreviating the Finger Tapping Test [PDF]

Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 2015
The Finger Tapping Test (FTT) has a strong empirical base but its procedures are inconsistent and the test can be time-consuming. To simplify and abbreviate administration procedures, several potential abbreviated procedures were evaluated using a sample of 71 individuals presenting to a VA Hospital for neuropsychological evaluation.

Timing-Dependent Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Hand Motor Function in Healthy Individuals: A Randomized Controlled Study

Brain Sciences, 2021
The timing of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is essential for enhancing motor skill learning. Previously, tDCS, before or concurrently, with motor training was evaluated in healthy volunteers or elderly patients, but the optimal timing of

Contactless Finger Tapping Detection at C-Band [PDF]

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2021
The rapid finger tap test is widely used in clinical assessment of dyskinesias in Parkinson’s disease. In clinical practice, doctors rely on their clinical experience and use the Parkinson’s Disease Uniform Rating Scale to make a brief judgment of symptoms. We propose a novel C-band microwave sensing method to evaluate finger tapping quantitatively and

Dissecting Motor and Cognitive Component Processes of a Finger-Tapping Task With Hybrid Dopamine Positron Emission Tomography and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Striatal dopamine is involved in facilitation of motor action as well as various cognitive and emotional functions. Positron emission tomography (PET) is the primary imaging method used to investigate dopamine function in humans.
