Motor unit potential contribution to surface electromyography
The background of the bioelectric activity of muscle recorded from the surface of the skin (surface electromyography) in terms of the representation of single motor units of the...
The information capacity of the human motor system in controlling the amplitude of movement.
Information theory has recently been employed to specify more precisely than has hitherto been possible man's capacity in certain sensory, perceptual, and perceptual-motor funct...
Phase-specific modulation of cortical motor output during movement observation
The effects of different phases of an observed movement on the modulation of cortical motor output were studied by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). A video-clip...
Functional coupling and regional activation of human cortical motor areas during simple, internally paced and externally paced finger movements
We studied the activation and interaction of cortical motor regions during simple, internally paced and externally paced right-hand finger extensions in healthy volunteers. We r...
Activity of neurons in putamen during active and passive movements of wrist
Recent studies have shown that many neurons in the basal ganglia have patterns of activity that are closely related to various parameters of active movements of the arm. The top...
