Manipulations require complex upper limb movements in which the central nervous system
(CNS) must deal with many degrees of freedom. Evidence suggests that the CNS utilizes …

To simplify redundant motor control, the central nervous system (CNS) may modularly
organize and recruit groups of muscles as “muscle synergies.” However, smooth and …

The extent to which muscle synergies represent the neural control of human behavior
remains unknown. Here, we tested whether certain sets of muscle synergies that are …

Recent research suggests that the nervous system controls muscles by activating flexible
combinations of muscle synergies to produce a wide repertoire of movements. Muscle …

Previous studies using advanced matrix factorization techniques have shown that the
coordination of human voluntary limb movements may be accomplished using combinations …

A core issue in motor control is how the central nervous system generates and selects the
muscle activation patterns necessary to achieve a variety of behaviors and movements …

Muscle coordination studies repeatedly show low-dimensionality of muscle activations for a
wide variety of motor tasks. The basis vectors of this low-dimensional subspace, termed …

Muscle synergies have been proposed as a way for the central nervous system (CNS) to
simplify the generation of motor commands and they have been shown to explain a large …

The human motor system is a complex neuro-musculo sensory system that needs further
investigations of neuro-muscular commands and sensory-motor coupling to decode …

Isometric force generation and kinematic reaching in the upper extremity has been found to
be represented by a limited number of muscle synergies, even across task-specific …
