Amplitude cancellation influences the association between frequency components in the neural drive to muscle and the rectified EMG signal

JL Dideriksen, D Farina - PLoS computational biology, 2019 - journals.plos.org
The rectified surface EMG signal is commonly used as an estimator of the neural drive to
muscles and therefore to infer sources of synaptic input to motor neurons. Loss of EMG …

Interpersonal synchronization of movement intermittency

A Tomassini, J Laroche, M Emanuele, G Nazzaro… - Iscience, 2022 - cell.com
Most animal species group together and coordinate their behavior in quite sophisticated
manners for mating, hunting, or defense purposes. In humans, coordination at a …

Transient visual responses reset the phase of low‐frequency oscillations in the skeletomotor periphery

DK Wood, C Gu, BD Corneil, PL Gribble… - European Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
We recorded muscle activity from an upper limb muscle while human subjects reached
towards peripheral targets. We tested the hypothesis that the transient visual response …

Visual detection is locked to the internal dynamics of cortico-motor control

A Tomassini, E Maris, P Hilt, L Fadiga, A D'Ausilio - PLoS Biology, 2020 - journals.plos.org
Movements overtly sample sensory information, making sensory analysis an active-sensing
process. In this study, we show that visual information sampling is not just locked to the …

An electromyography signals-based human-robot collaboration method for human skill learning and imitation

T Zhang, H Sun, Y Zou, H Chu - Journal of Manufacturing Systems, 2022 - Elsevier
Human beings have strong perception and decision-making ability. In human-human
collaboration, the follower can adjust the motion speed by perceiving the change of external …

The selective influence of rhythmic cortical versus cerebellar transcranial stimulation on human physiological tremor

AR Mehta, JS Brittain, P Brown - Journal of Neuroscience, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
The influence of central neuronal oscillators on human physiological tremor is controversial.
To address this, transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS) was delivered at peak …

Cardinal features of involuntary force variability can arise from the closed-loop control of viscoelastic afferented muscles

A Nagamori, CM Laine… - PLoS computational …, 2018 - journals.plos.org
Involuntary force variability below 15 Hz arises from, and is influenced by, many factors
including descending neural drive, proprioceptive feedback, and mechanical properties of …

Cortico-muscular coherence parallels coherence of postural tremor and MEG during static muscle contraction

K Airaksinen, T Lehti, J Nurminen, J Luoma, L Helle… - Neuroscience …, 2015 - Elsevier
Abstract Corticokinematic coherence (CKC), ie, coherence calculated between MEG and an
accelerometer signal, recording movement kinematics, can be used for functional mapping …

Voluntary reduction of force variability via modulation of low-frequency oscillations

SH Park, A Casamento-Moran, B Yacoubi… - Experimental brain …, 2017 - Springer
Visual feedback can influence the force output by changing the power in frequencies below
1 Hz. However, it remains unknown whether visual guidance can help an individual reduce …

The dynamics of voluntary force production in afferented muscle influence involuntary tremor

CM Laine, A Nagamori… - Frontiers in computational …, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Voluntary control of force is always marked by some degree of error and unsteadiness. Both
neural and mechanical factors contribute to these fluctuations, but how they interact to …
