Age-Related Decline of Sensorimotor Integration Influences Resting-State Functional Brain Connectivity

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Age-related decline in sensorimotor integration involves both peripheral and central components related to proprioception and kinesthesia. To explore the role of cortical motor networks, we investigated the association between resting-state functional ...

Pointing to One's Moving Hand: Putative Internal Models Do Not Contribute to Proprioceptive Acuity

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
We can easily and without sight bring our fingertip to our nose, or swat a mosquito on our arm. These actions rely on proprioception, also known as kinesthesia, which classically has been attributed to processing of sensory inflow by the CNS.

Capturing the nurse’s kinesthetic experience of wearing an exoskeleton

open access: yesSocial Interaction, 2021
In this study, we introduce a video-ethnographic study of a research process in which nursing students try on exoskeletons—wearable forms of technology that are meant to decrease lower back strain when lifting something.
