The nature of finger enslaving: New results and their implications

V Abolins, ML Latash - Motor Control, 2021 - journals.humankinetics.com
We present a review on the phenomenon of unintentional finger action seen when other
fingers of the hand act intentionally. This phenomenon (enslaving) has been viewed as a …

Distortions of the efferent copy during force perception: A study of force drifts and effects of muscle vibration

C Cuadra, J Corey, ML Latash - Neuroscience, 2021 - Elsevier
We used a finger force matching task to explore the role of efferent signals in force
perception. Healthy, young participants performed accurate force production tasks at …

Unintentional force drifts as consequences of indirect force control with spatial referent coordinates

V Abolins, ML Latash - Neuroscience, 2022 - Elsevier
We explored the phenomenon of unintentional force drifts in the absence of visual feedback.
Based on the idea of direct force control with internal models and on the idea of indirect …

Optimality, stability, and agility of human movement: New optimality criterion and trade-offs

ML Latash - Motor control, 2022 - journals.humankinetics.com
This review of movement stability, optimality, and agility is based on the theory of motor
control with changes in spatial referent coordinates for the effectors, the principle of …

Three levels of neural control contributing to performance-stabilizing synergies in multi-finger tasks

A Benamati, JM Ricotta, SD De, ML Latash - Neuroscience, 2024 - Elsevier
We tested a hypothesis on force-stabilizing synergies during four-finger accurate force
production at three levels:(1) The level of the reciprocal and coactivation commands …

Force matching: motor effects that are not reported by the actor

M Pawłowski, JM Ricotta, SD De, ML Latash - Experimental Brain …, 2024 - Springer
We explored unintentional drifts of finger forces during force production and matching task.
Based on earlier studies, we predicted that force matching with the other hand would reduce …

Unintentional drifts in performance during one-hand and two-hand finger force production

V Abolins, J Ormanis, ML Latash - Experimental Brain Research, 2023 - Springer
We explored the phenomena of force drifts and unintentional finger force production
(enslaving), and their dependence on visual feedback. Predictions have been drawn based …

Two aspects of feed-forward control of action stability: effects of action speed and unexpected events

SD De, S Ambike, ML Latash - Experimental Brain Research, 2024 - Springer
We explored two types of anticipatory synergy adjustments (ASA) during accurate four-finger
total force production task. The first type is a change in the index of force-stabilizing synergy …

Age-related differences in finger interdependence during complex hand movements

L Klemm, E Kuehn, A Kalyani… - Journal of Applied …, 2024 - journals.physiology.org
The well-known decrease in finger dexterity during healthy aging leads to a significant
reduction in quality of life. Still, the exact patterns of altered finger kinematics of older adults …

Unintentional force drifts across the human fingers: implications for the neural control of finger tasks

V Abolins, ML Latash - Experimental Brain Research, 2022 - Springer
We explored the unintentional force drift across the four fingers of the dominant hand during
accurate force production in isometric conditions caused by turning the visual feedback on …
