Toward a new theory of motor synergies
Driven by recent empirical studies, we offer a new understanding of the degrees of freedom
problem, and propose a refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a …

Neural bases of hand synergies
The human hand has so many degrees of freedom that it may seem impossible to control. A
potential solution to this problem is “synergy control” which combines dimensionality …

Decomposition of variability in the execution of goal-oriented tasks: three components of skill improvement.
A central ability of the motor system is to achieve goals with great reliability, although never
with zero variability. It is argued that variability is reduced with practice by 3 separate means …
