TL;DR: The young controls showed a gradual visuomotor adaptation that compensated for the visual feedback distortions during the exposure conditions and showed significant after effects during the postexposure conditions while the elderly controls seemed to make little use of visual feedback.

TL;DR: The M170 peak was identified as a potential marker for pre-clinical decline as epsilon4 carriers exhibited longer M170 latency, and highly physically active participants exhibited greater M170 amplitude to matching probe trials.

TL;DR: A neural network model for the functioning of parallel basal ganglia-thalamocortical motor systems during normal and parkinsonian movement is developed and it is hypothesized that dopamine depletion produces smaller-than-normal pallidothalamic gating signals that prevent rescalability of these signals to control variable movement speed, and that in PD can produce smaller- than-normal movement amplitudes.

TL;DR: This work specifically considers situations in which a mobile user may have only one hand available to operate a device, and conducts three foundational studies: a field study to capture how users currently operate devices; a survey to record user preference for the number of hands used for a variety of mobile tasks, and an empirical evaluation to understand how device size, interaction location, and movement direction influence thumb agility.

TL;DR: Investigating the potential contributions of motion artifacts in scalp EEG during treadmill walking at three different speeds suggests how MoBI methods may be safely deployed in neural, cognitive, and rehabilitation engineering applications.
