Sensory feedback is pivotal for a proficient dexterity of the hand. By modulating the grip force
in function of the quick and not completely predictable change of the load force, grabbed …

Grasping is a complex task routinely performed in an anticipatory (feedforward) manner,
where sensory feedback is responsible for learning and updating the internal model of grasp …

The simple act of viewing and grasping an object involves complex sensorimotor control
mechanisms that have been shown to vary as a function of multiple object and other task …

Prosthesis users usually agree that myoelectric prostheses should be equipped with
somatosensory feedback. However, the exact role of feedback and potential benefits are still …

Humans are faster to grasp an object such as a tool if they have previewed the same object
beforehand. This priming effect is strongest when actors gesture the use of the tool rather …

One way to foster the understanding of the impressively skilled fine motor control of human
object manipulation is to investigate the rules of the underlying fundamental mechanisms …

Skilled motor performance depends critically on rapid corrective responses that act to
preserve the goal of the movement in the face of perturbations. Although it is well …

In order to grasp and transport an object, grip and load forces must be scaled according to
the object's properties (such as weight). To select the appropriate grip and load forces, the …

Predicting instead of only reacting to the properties of objects we grasp is crucial to
dexterous object manipulation. Although we normally plan our grasps according to well …

The time course of grip force from object contact to onset of manipulation has been
extensively studied to gain insight into the underlying control mechanisms. Of particular …
