Journal ArticleDOI
Postural Hand Synergies for Tool Use
TL;DR: The results suggest that the control of hand posture involves a few postural synergies, regulating the general shape of the hand, coupled with a finer control mechanism providing for small, subtle adjustments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensorimotor representations for pointing to targets in three-dimensional space
TL;DR: It is concluded that subjects have a reasonably accurate visual representation of target location and are able to effectively use kinesthetically derived information about target location.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early stages in a sensorimotor transformation
TL;DR: A model for several early stages of the sensorimotor transformations involved in targeted arm movement is presented, suggesting that the combination of these representations of initial and final arm orientations could give rise to the representation of movement direction recorded in the motor cortex by Georgopoulos and his colleagues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Errors in pointing are due to approximations in sensorimotor transformations
TL;DR: It is proposed that errors in pointing occur because subjects implement a linear approximation to the transformation from extrinsic to intrinsic coordinates and that this transformation is one step in the process of transforming a visually derived representation of target location into an appropriate pattern of muscle activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of Hand Motion during Grasping and the Influence of Sensory Guidance
TL;DR: A principal components analysis was developed to provide a concise description of the spatiotemporal patterns underlying the motion of temporal synergies of hand movement and the influence of sensory cues on the control of these synergies.
