Cognitive and Sensorimotor Representations in Motor Actions. Integrating Findings from Unimanual Grasping and Bimanual Motor Learning
… and learning. Specifically, it focuses on goal-directed tasks to assess motor performance and bimanual tasks to understand motor learning. The primary objective is to elucidate how these representations influence and interact within different contexts of motor task execution and skill …

On Control Systems of the Brain: A Study of Their Connections, Activations, and Interactions
… top-down controls that instantiate and regulate goal-directed strategies. The current dissertation focuses on different systems of brain regions related to task control. We are interested in investigating, in detail, some of the basic activity patterns that different control systems carry during …

Electromyographical Analysis of and Medial-Lateral Anticipatory Postural Adjustments prior to Stepping and Single Leg Reaching in Chronic Unstable Ankles
… prior to the execution of two different goal directed tasks. Additional variables such as temporal stepping parameters and center of pressure (COP) parameters were examined during the goal directed leg lifting task and reach distance during the Star Execution Balance Test (SEBT). …

Biomechanical aspects of postural balance strategy in dynamic sport activities
… activities, players often need to complete goal-directed tasks of an end-effector (e.g. tennis racket), while also needing to control their balance, in order to produce a successful task. However, studying the interaction between postural balance and end-effector control, in a biomechanical …
