Lateralization of mechanisms mediating functions such as language and perception is
widely accepted as a fundamental feature of neural organization. Recent research has …

Multiple learning processes contribute to successful goal-directed actions in the face of
changing physiological states, biomechanical constraints, and environmental contexts …

The senses of limb position and movement become degraded in low gravity. One
explanation is a gravity-dependent loss of fusimotor activity. In low gravity, position and …

Visuomotor adaptation has one of the oldest experimental histories in psychology and
neuroscience, yet its precise nature has always been a topic of debate. Here we offer a …

Previous work has highlighted the role of haptic feedback for manual dexterity, in particular
for the control of precision grip forces between the index finger and thumb. It is unclear how …

It is uncertain how vision and proprioception contribute to adaptation of voluntary arm
movements. In normal participants, adaptation to imposed forces is possible with or without …

The cerebellum is involved in a large number of different neural processes, especially in
associative learning and in fine motor control. To develop a comprehensive theory of …

Humans evolution is distinctly characterized by their exquisite mastery of tools, allowing
them to shape their environment in more elaborate ways compared to other species. This …

Proprioceptive information arises from a variety of channels, including muscle, tendon, and
skin afferents. It tells us where our static limbs are in space and how they are moving. It …

The Delft Institute of Prosthetics and Orthotics has started a research program to develop an
improved voluntary closing, body-powered hand prosthesis. Five commercially available …
