Motor imagery (MI) is the mental simulation of an action without its actual execution. It has
been successfully used through mental practice—the repetition of imagined movements—to …

Smoothness is a main characteristic of goal-directed human movements. The suitability of
approaches quantifying movement smoothness is dependent on the analyzed signal's …

Background The cause of smoothness deficits as a proxy for quality of movement post stroke
is currently unclear. Previous simulation analyses showed that spectral arc length (SPARC) …

Background Upper limb kinematic assessments provide quantifiable information on
qualitative movement behavior and limitations after stroke. A comprehensive …

Kinematic analysis of upper limb reaching provides insight into the central nervous system
control of movements. Until recently, kinematic examination of motor control has been …

Written in a conversational and engaging manner, How We Think and Learn introduces
readers to basic principles and research findings regarding human cognition and memory. It …

Aging impacts on our ability to perform goal-directed aiming movements. Older adults
generally make slower and shorter initial impulses towards the end target, and therefore …

Though age-related decrease in information-processing capacities is hypothesized to be a
prominent cause of behavioral slowing, it has been scarcely systematically studied in goal …

Although learning and adapting to visuo-motor tasks is critical to child development and
health conditions requiring rehabilitation, the neural processes involved in learning a new …

Task performance for behaviors that engage motor cognitive processes may be particularly
sensitive to age-related changes. One well-studied model of cognitive motor function …
