Brain activity during visual versus kinesthetic imagery: an fMRI study.

29 Jun 2009 Although there is ample evidence that motor imagery activates similar cerebral regions to those solicited during actual movements, it is still unknown whether visual (VI) and kinesthetic imagery (KI) recruit comparable or distinct neural networks. ... Read more...

Target-directed movements at a comfortable pace: movement duration and Fitts's law.

29 Jun 2009 Although many studies have supported P. M. Fitts's (1954) law as a description of the speed-accuracy trade-off for speeded movements, there has been a lack of research regarding movement duration for target-directed movements made at any other pace. ... Read more...

Influence of augmented feedback on coordination strategies.

29 Jun 2009 The authors examined the influence of knowledge of results (KR) and concurrent feedback (ConFB) on coordination strategies in learning a 2-finger discrete force-production task. In Experiment 1, 4 groups learned the task under the following feedback ... Read more...
