A parsimonious oscillatory model of handwriting

G André, V Kostrubiec, JC Buisson, JM Albaret… - Biological …, 2014 - Springer
We propose an oscillatory model that is theoretically parsimonious, empirically efficient and
biologically plausible. Building on Hollerbach's (Biol Cybern 39: 139–156, 1981) model, our …

Investigating how children produce rotation and pointing movements when they learn to write letters

LS Thibon, G Barbier, C Vilain, TR Sawallis… - Human Movement …, 2019 - Elsevier
How do children learn to write letters? During writing acquisition, some letters may be more
difficult to produce than others because certain movement sequences require more precise …

Switching among graphic patterns is governed by oscillatory coordination dynamics: implications for understanding handwriting

PG Zanone, S Athènes - Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Revisiting an original idea by Hollerbach, previous work has established that the production
of graphic shapes, assumed to be the blueprint for handwriting, is governed by the dynamics …
