Pavlovian threat learning shapes the kinematics of action

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Prompt response to environmental threats is critical to survival. Previous research has revealed mechanisms underlying threat-conditioned physiological responses, but little is known about how threats shape action.

The Upper Extremity Flexion Synergy Is Minimally Expressed in Young Individuals With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy Following an Early Brain Injury

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020
Hemiparetic stroke in adulthood often results in the grouped movement pattern of the upper extremity flexion synergy thought to arise from an increased reliance on cortico-reticulospinal pathways due to a loss of lateral corticospinal projections.

Hierarchical Control of Visually-Guided Movements in a 3D-Printed Robot Arm

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021
The control architecture guiding simple movements such as reaching toward a visual target remains an open problem. The nervous system needs to integrate different sensory modalities and coordinate multiple degrees of freedom in the human arm to achieve ...

Reaching out [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Physics, 2020
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, science is crucial to inform public policy. At the same time, mistrust of scientists and misinformation about scientific facts are rampant. Six scientists, actively involved in outreach, reflect on how to build a better understanding and trust of science.

Optimizing Movement Performance with Altered Sensation: An Examination of Multisensory Inputs

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2023
Two experiments were conducted to assess the impact of induced paresthesia on movement parameters of goal-directed aiming movements to determine how visual and auditory feedback may enhance performance when somatosensory feedback is disrupted.

The Effects of Reducing Preparation Time on the Execution of Intentionally Curved Trajectories: Optimization and Geometrical Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017
When subjects are intentionally preparing a curved trajectory, they are engaged in a time-consuming trajectory planning process that is separate from target selection. To investigate the construction of such a plan, we examined the effect of artificially

Validity and Reliability of Kinect v2 for Quantifying Upper Body Kinematics during Seated Reaching

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Kinematic analysis of the upper limbs is a good way to assess and monitor recovery in individuals with stroke, but it remains little used in clinical routine due to its low feasibility.

Testing for optic ataxia in a blind field

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013
Optic ataxia is a component of Balint’s syndrome and is a disorder that results from damage to the posterior parietal cortex leading to deficits in reaching and grasping objects presented in the visual field opposite to the damaged hemisphere. It is also
