The experimental association psychology approach to mental associations has been the
conceptual background for the concept of schizophrenia. Cognitive neuroscience methods …

Recent studies of the improvement of perceptual performance as a function of training—
perceptual learning—have provided new insights into the neuronal substrates of this type of …

Background and Purpose. Job-related repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are increasing, and
current treatment strategies often fail to return injured people to work. This study …

A plastic remodeling of regions in somatosensory cortex has previously been observed to
occur in separate experimental paradigms in response to loss of somatosensory input and to …

Humans and monkeys have similar capacities to discriminate the frequencies of mechanical
sinusoids delivered to their hands in the range that corresponds to the sense of flutter (10 …

Practice-related improvement in visual perception is highly specific for properties of the
stimulus used in training. We explored the specificity of such perceptual learning in the …

We mapped the cortical representations of the abductor pollicis brevis, flexor carpi radialis,
biceps and deltoid muscles in six subjects with unilateral wrist fractures, immediately after …

Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) are difficult to treat. Some individuals with RSIs may
ultimately develop chronic pain syndromes or movement problems like focal hand dystonia …

We examined acetylcholine (ACh) release in the frontal cortex and in the vibrissae
representation in the somatosensory cortex in rats during the acquisition of a tactile …

In a left index finger amputee, appropriate stimulation of skin areas of the remnant left fingers
or left lower face evoked veridical sensations as well as sensations localized to the phantom …
