From Action to Cognition: Neural Reuse, Network Theory and the Emergence of Higher Cognitive Functions

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2021
The aim of this article is to discuss the logic and assumptions behind the concept of neural reuse, to explore its biological advantages and to discuss the implications for the cognition of a brain that reuses existing circuits and resources.

Ants determine their next move at rest: motor planning and causality in complex systems [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
To find useful work to do for their colony, individual eusocial animals have to move, somehow staying attentive to relevant social information. Recent research on individual Temnothorax albipennis ants moving inside their colony’s nest found a power-law ...

Motor planning as an optimization of command representation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 48h IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) held jointly with 2009 28th Chinese Control Conference, 2009
A fundamental problem in the field of motor neuroscience is to understand how our brain generates appropriate motor commands for precise movements effortlessly. The problem seems difficult since there are infinitely many possible trajectories and our musculo-skeltal system is generally redundant.

Observation of Both Skilled and Erroneous Object Lifting Can Improve Predictive Force Scaling in the Observer

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
Recent studies have highlighted that the observation of hand-object interactions can influence perceptual weight judgments made by an observer. Moreover, observing salient motor errors during object lifting allows individuals to update their internal ...

Motor Planning of Vertical Arm Movements in Healthy Older Adults: Does Effort Minimization Persist With Aging?

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
Several sensorimotor modifications are known to occur with aging, possibly leading to adverse outcomes such as falls. Recently, some of those modifications have been proposed to emerge from motor planning deteriorations.

Development of an efficient crash CAE modelling method using a fiber-orientation prediction model

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
Accurate prediction of deformation in plastic components is essential for improving the reliability of automobile crash safety simulations. In fiber-reinforced plastic parts, mechanical strength and failure behavior depend strongly on the orientation of ...

Cortical Potentials Prior to Movement in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2017
Introduction: Recording cortical potentials prior to movement (bereitschaftspotentials, BP) offer a good non invasive method for studying activity of motor related cortices in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Dopaminergic medications provide some symptomatic

Multisensory Integration during Motor Planning [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2003
When planning goal-directed reaches, subjects must estimate the position of the arm by integrating visual and proprioceptive signals from the sensory periphery. These integrated position estimates are required at two stages of motor planning: first to determine the desired movement vector, and second to transform the movement vector into a joint-based ...

Study of Dynamic Traffic Management Based on Automated Driving/ADAS with Connected System

open access: yesInternational Journal of Automotive Engineering
This study examined the feasibility of improving traffic flow on urban highways using AD/ADAS and connected systems. The focus was on congested merging areas with the aim of maintaining the speed immediately after merging. The effectiveness of lane-based
