Development of the ocular motor system in mouse embryos
The ocular motor system enables organisms to move their eyes to obtain precise visual feedback. In humans, six extraocular muscles form an oppositional pulley system to mediate slow, smooth tracking events as well as fast saccades. Their movement is dependent on three cranial nerves: the …

Structural and functional adaptations of the Auditory-Motor System : insights from expertise & disorder
… domains converges on a notion that auditory-motor networks can be remodeled functionally and structurally in response to experiences, studies that seek to evaluate these hypotheses by combining behavioral, functional, and structural measures are rare. Given relatively recent advances in …

Implementation and evaluation of an intelligent tuner for an ill-defined servo-motor system
… with automated, knowledge-based tuning of servo motors. Conventional adaptive techniques can perform unsatisfactorily when the controlled system is complex and incompletely known. Furthermore, they cannot directly capture and utilize the knowledge of experienced human operators, in tuning a servo …

Implementation of Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for Hybrid Vehicle Systems
… under which educational competitions occur. The motor system case study within this work aims to allow the process for DFMEA to be simple and easily implemented and understood when it is appropriate to start. After defining the model, an electric motor system for hybrid vehicle is analyzed for …

Energy Storage and Electric Motor Systems Projects for Hands-on Student Learning
… supplemental projects: the energy storage system (ESS) and the motor system. Each project is considered low voltage (LV) for safety and simplicity, however high voltage techniques are used for learning purposes. The LV ESS is used to power up an LV motor system. To limit depletion of the …

Parkinson's Patients' Upper and Lower Limb Motor Impairments Differentially Influence Action Verb Processing
… grounded cognition emphasize the role of sensorimotor simulation in conceptual knowledge. With regard to action concepts, the motor system is hypothesized to play a central role in their representation and processing. The present study investigates whether patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) …

Accelerated and improved motor learning and rehabilitation using kinesthetic feedback
… in the United States [roughly 8%] have a basic motor skill inability [13], many stemming not from atrophy, but an improper mapping from the brain to the motor system. Devices exist today to aid people in rebuilding their motor system mappings, but do so in bulky, and inconvenient ways, since …

MOTOR SEQUENCE LEARNING IN ADULTS WITH ADHD
"A healthy motor system is able to switch and adapt to different environmental contexts and select the most suitable strategy, thus maximizing the efficiency of the movements and save time or energy. Motor hyperactivity in individuals with ADHD is clinically well recognized and can be understood as …

One step ahead: Investigating the influence of prior knowledge on the perception of others’ actions
… by directly matching their actions to our own motor system, emphasising the importance of bottom-up processes during social perception. However, more recent theories suggest that instead we actively anticipate others actions based upon intentions inferred outside of the motor system, from …

Take two notes and call me in the morning : the science of music therapy
… damage. Parkinson's disease attacks a person's motor system, and RAS gait training re-stimulates the motor system with music, specifically sound with rhythmic qualities. MIT is used to treat certain kinds of speech loss caused by brain damage in the left hemisphere. Speech is housed in specific …

Negative interference in systems of coupled kinesin: A study of self-assembling complexes with defined structure
… is a crucial process that requires the work of motor proteins to distribute necessary cargos. Many times the motors must move over long distances and against high opposing forces than those generated by single motors. To accomplish this task motors appear to act in teams, as suggested by …

Performance Simulation and Powertrain Selection for an Electric Drift Trike Vehicle
… profiles of the trike are simulated to select a motor and chain drive ratio for the vehicle. A motor controller and battery system are selected to match the requirements of the drive motor. System architecture and safety features of the trike’s electrical system are explained through the startup …

Models for Calculating Residual Voltage of Induction Motors.
Induction motors are commonly used in driving auxiliary equipment in coal-fired power plants. An external source of power must be connected to the auxiliary system for starting a turbine-generator. After the generator speed is increased to synchronous speed and synchronized with the power system, …

Motor Resonance meets Motor Performance: Neurocognitive investigations with transcranial magnetic stimulation
… idea is to adapt a neural population in the motor system and then testing the effects of this adaptation when participants categorize visually presented actions. The second aim of the present work is to find a paradigm, or a particular cognitive set, that does not allow the simulation process …

Language and Embodiment: sensory-motor and linguistic-social experience. Evidence on sentence comprehension
… supporting the idea that language modulates the motor system in a specific way, both at a proximal level (sensibility to the effectors) and at the distal level (sensibility to the goal of the action in which the single motor acts are inserted). I will present two studies in which the method is …
