Sensor-based assessments in medical practice and rehabilitation include the measurement
of physiological signals such as EEG, EMG, ECG, heart rate, and NIRS, and the recording of …

Background and Objective A new direction in the study of motor control was opened about
two decades ago with the introduction of a model for the generation of motor commands as …

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are currently widely used in the field of the
neuromodulation not only because of their anti-depressive effects but also due to their ability …

Motor skill learning requires the acquisition of novel muscle patterns and a new control
policy—a process that requires time. In contrast, motor adaptation often requires only the …

Effective upper-limb rehabilitation for severely impaired stroke survivors is still missing.
Recent studies endorse novel motor rehabilitation approaches such as robotic exoskeletons …

Under the synergy hypothesis, novel muscle synergies may be required for motor skill
learning. We have developed a" virtual surgery" experimental paradigm that alters the …

Muscle synergies are defined as coordinated recruitment of groups of muscles with specific
activation balances and time profiles aimed at generating task-specific motor commands …

We have recently provided evidence that cerebellar damage affects the spatiotemporal but
not the spatial organization of the muscle patterns, suggesting that the cerebellum plays a …

According to the synergy hypothesis, the motor system recruits a small number of synergies
in a task-dependent manner. Existing synergy extraction algorithms typically only consider …

Muscle synergy analysis is an established method for studying motor control in basic
neuroscience based on multichannel EMG recordings. Changes in muscle synergy structure …
