Recent imaging studies of motor function provide new insights into the organization of the
premotor areas of the frontal lobe. The pre-supplementary motor area and the rostral portion …

Spastic paresis follows chronic disruption of the central execution of volitional command.
Motor function in patients with spastic paresis is subjected over time to three fundamental …

Studies of functional brain imaging in humans and single cell recordings in monkeys have
generally shown preferential involvement of the medially located supplementary motor area …

Performance monitoring can be implemented in the brain by two possible systems, one
monitoring for response competition or one detecting errors. Two current models of …

The feeling of body ownership is a fundamental aspect of self-consciousness. The
underlying neural mechanisms can be studied by using the illusion where a person is made …

We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain
activity when subjects were performing identical tasks in the context of either a task-set …

Temporal orienting of attention is the ability to focus resources at a particular moment in time
in order to optimise behaviour, and is associated with activation of left parietal and premotor …

Though it is well known that humans perceive the temporal features of the environment
incessantly, the brain mechanisms underlying temporal processing are relatively …

The contingent negative variation (CNV) is a long-latency electroencephalography (EEG)
surface negative potential with cognitive and motor components, observed during response …

The assessment of voluntary behavior in non-communicative brain injured patients is often
challenging due to the existence of profound motor impairment. In the absence of a full …
