Spatiotemporal patterns of parietofrontal activity and eye movements underlying the visual perception of complex human tool use
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-11-16)
When watching a child learning to use a spoon, a mother is immediately able to recognize the error when the child grabs the bowl rather than the stem, or when the child uses the spoon to try and scoop paper. Recognizing ...
Neuromechanics of locomotion: Insights from the walk-to-run transition in amputees and pedaling in able-bodied individuals
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-10-16)
Afferent feedback is important for modulating locomotion and maintaining stability. Studying locomotor extremes and applying perturbations to normal locomotion allows us to probe the effects of afferent feedback on the ...
Altered intermuscular force feedback after spinal cord injury in cat
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-07-24)
Bipeds and quadrupeds are inherently unstable and their bodies sway during quiet stance and require complex patterns of muscle activation to produce direction-specific forces to control the body’s center of mass. The ...
Fatigue mechanisms in sedentary and endurance trained adults: effects of nutritional countermeasures
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-08)
Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for chronic disease; yet the majority of the population does not meet physical activity recommendations, with fatigue being a primary underlying reason. Common nutritional supplements ...
Understanding the neurophysiology of action interpretation in right and left-handed individuals
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-08)
Investigating the neurophysiology behind our action encoding system offers a way of probing the underlying mechanisms regarding how we understand seen action. The ability to mentally simulate action (motor simulation) is ...
Influencing motor behavior through constraint of lower limb movement
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2015-04-29)
Limited knowledge of the neuromechanical response to use of an ankle foot orthosis-footwear combination (AFO-FC) has created a lack of consensus in understanding orthotic motion control as a therapeutic treatment. Lack of ...
