For nearly four decades bimanual coordination,“a prototype of complex motor skills” and
apparent “window into the design of the brain,” has been intensively studied. Past research …

Synergy discusses a general problem in biology: The lack of an adequate language for
formulating biologically specific problems. Written for an inquisitive reader who is not …

Humans experience their own body as unitary and monolithic in nature. However, recent
findings in cognitive neuroscience seem to suggest that body awareness has a complex and …

Although the relationship between brain activity and motor performance is reasonably well
established, the manner in which this relationship changes with motor learning remains …

The present findings demonstrate that when participants are provided a Lissajous display
with cursor indicating the position of the limbs and a template illustrating the desired …

The acquisition of a new bimanual skill depends on several motor coordination constraints.
To date, coordination constraints have often been tested relatively independently of one …

Adults with Down syndrome (DS) are often physically inactive, which may accelerate the
onset of disease and aging symptoms. Eight older persons with DS (aged 54–61), and 10 …

Many of the activities associated with spaceflight require individuals to coordinate actions
between the limbs (eg, controlling a rover, landing a spacecraft). However, research …

Two experiments were conducted to determine if multi-frequency (2: 1 and 3: 2) coordination
between the limbs is enhanced when integrated feedback is provided in the form of …

Bilateral training systems look to promote the paretic hand's use in individuals with
hemiplegia. Although this is normally achieved using mechanical coupling (ie, a physical …
