It is not yet clear how the temporal structure of a voluntary action is coded allowing
coordinated bimanual responses. This study focuses on the adaptation to and compensation …

We show that fast bimanual coordinative feedback responses can be reversed with changes
in task goals. Participants moved a flexible virtual object across a finish line with an upward …

The present study investigated the generalizability of the hypothesis of transient coupling
during the preparation of bimanual movements (Spijkers and Heuer 1995) to the …

Moving one part of the body can generate interaction forces that tend to destabilize other
parts of the body. However, stability is maintained by mechanisms that predict and actively …

Skillful manipulation of objects often requires the spatio-temporal coordination of both hands
and, at the same time, the compensation of environmental forces. In bimanual coordination …

In manual action, the relationship between a given motor command and the ensuing
movement depends on the dynamics of both the arm and hand-held objects. Skilled …

Dynamic learning in humans has been extensively studied using externally applied force
fields to perturb movements of the arm. These studies have focused on unimanual learning …

The control and adaptation of bimanual movements is often considered to be a function of a
fixed set of mechanisms [1, 2]. Here, I show that both feedback control and adaptation …

To what extent does visual feedback shape the coordination between our arms? As a first
step towards answering this question, this study compares bimanual coupling in …

The aim of the study was to elucidate the underlying principles of bimanual coordination and
to establish quantitative coordination criteria. Healthy human subjects were instructed to …
