Physical and neural entrainment to rhythm: human sensorimotor coordination across tasks and effector systems. [PDF]
The human sensorimotor system can be readily entrained to environmental rhythms, through multiple sensory modalities. In this review, we provide an overview of theories of timekeeping that make this neuroentrainment possible.

Nomadic input on mobile devices: the influence of touch input technique and walking speed on performance and offset modeling [PDF]
In everyday life people use their mobile phones on-the-go with different walking speeds and with different touch input techniques. Unfortunately, much of the published research in mobile interaction does not quantify the influence of these variables.

Stop signals delay synchrony more for finger tapping than vocalization: a dual modality study of rhythmic synchronization in the stop signal task [PDF]
Background A robust feature of sensorimotor synchronization (SMS) performance in finger tapping to an auditory pacing signal is the negative asynchrony of the tap with respect to the pacing signal.

Functional Optical Topography Analysis Using Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) Methodology with and without Physiological Confounds [PDF]
Functional optical topography (OT) measures the changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbO(2), HHb) across multiple brain sites which occur in response to neuronal activation of the cerebral cortex.

Mapping of the supplementary motor area using repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation
BackgroundThe supplementary motor area (SMA) is important for motor and language function. Damage to the SMA may harm these functions, yet tools for a preoperative assessment of the area are still sparse.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to validate a ...

Effects of daytime food intake on memory consolidation during sleep or sleep deprivation. [PDF]
Sleep enhances memory consolidation. Bearing in mind that food intake produces many metabolic signals that can influence memory processing in humans (e.g., insulin), the present study addressed the question as to whether the enhancing effect of sleep on ...

Structural factors in patterned finger tapping
Abstract The relationship between the internal representation and the performance of serial tasks is studied. An experiment is reported in which subjects tapped as fast as possible serial ‘finger patterns’: sequences of taps made with different fingers. The patterns are assumed to be represented internally as hierarchies of operations.
