Association of ideomotor apraxia with frontal gray matter volume loss in corticobasal syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the brain areas associated with specific components of ideomotor apraxia (IMA) in corticobasal syndrome (CBS). DESIGN: Case-control and cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-eight patients with CBS and 14 control ... Read more...

Repetition suppression for performed hand gestures revealed by fMRI.

30 Aug 2009 The functional components of the human motor system that are used to retrieve and execute simple intransitive hand gestures were identified with a repetition suppression (RS) paradigm. Participants performed movements with the right hand to text ... Read more...

A unified framework for gesture recognition and spatiotemporal gesture segmentation.

30 Aug 2009 Within the context of hand gesture recognition, spatiotemporal gesture segmentation is the task of determining, in a video sequence, where the gesturing hand is located and when the gesture starts and ends. Existing gesture recognition methods ... Read more...
