The hand endows us with unparalleled precision and versatility in our interactions with
objects, from mundane activities such as grasping to extraordinary ones such as virtuoso …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is widely used for the treatment of movement disorders
including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia and, to a lesser extent, certain …

Since the first descriptions of sensorimotor rhythms by Berger (1929) and by Jasper and
Penfield (1949), the potential role of beta oscillations (~ 13–30Hz) in the brain has been …

Local field potentials and the underlying endogenous electric fields (EFs) are traditionally
considered to be epiphenomena of structured neuronal network activity. Recently, however …

Oscillations form a ubiquitous feature of the central nervous system. Evidence is accruing
from cortical and sub-cortical recordings that these rhythms may be functionally important …

It has been known for many years that the power of beta-band oscillatory activity in motor-
related brain regions decreases during the preparation and execution of voluntary …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the dominant means of
measuring behavior-related neural activity in the human brain. Yet the relation between the …

Synchronization of neural activity is considered essential for information processing in the
nervous system. Both local and inter-regional synchronization are omnipresent in different …

Electrocorticographic (ECoG) signals have been successfully used to provide information
about arm movement direction, individual finger movements and even continuous arm …

Prehension, the capacity to reach and grasp, is the key behavior that allows humans to
change their environment. It continues to serve as a remarkable experimental test case for …
