Information Theory for Arm Visuo-Motor Coordination
… work addresses the information processing of visuo-motor coordination. The aim of this research is to develop an adaptive model for coordinating mechanical action of an arm according to visual information. As a result, a large neural map has been generated which has been used to guide a …

Neural basis of a visuo-motor transformation in the fly
… of populations of sensory neurons are used by motor systems to generate appropriate behaviour is a long standing question in neuroscience. I address this problem by studying a comparatively simple model system. In the fly, Neck Motor Neurons control gaze-stabilising head movements that occur …

Computational Methods for the Assessment of Brain Connectivity in Visuo-Motor Integration Processes
… evaluation of brain connectivity during visuo-motor integration processes. To this end, we provided first a comprehensive description of the most common MVAR-based connectivity measures, enhancing their theoretical interpretation. Then, we introduced an extended MVAR (eMVAR) model …

Improving visio-motor coordination in non-dominant hands through tracing tasks
Visuo-motor skills are essential in the performance of various everyday tasks. These skills can be impaired in several neurological conditions. Effective rehabilitation schemes are needed in order to improve visuo-motor coordination in such subjects. This study will propose and test a training …

Behavioral and Functional Brain Correlates of Developmental Coordination Disorder: A Case-Control Study
<p>completing fine motor skills involved in activities of daily living (ADLs). The primary purpose of this study was to establish neural markers of fine-motor skill impairment in children with DCD. Following a formal assessment of both fine and gross motor skills, we used MRI (magnetic resonance …

Motion learning by robot apprentices : a fuzzy neural approach
… presents an approach on how robots can learn the visuo-motor coordination of their arms and how they can imitate human arm movements, in order to acquire motor skills from human instructors.

The Effects of Self-Guided Meditation and Napping on Memory Consolidation in Humans
… forms of “active wakefulness” (e.g., sensorimotor and cognitive tasks) as a comparison condition for sleep, while few studies have examined the role of “quiet wakefulness” in memory consolidation, even though some of the EEG oscillations during quiet waking resemble those present in sleep …

Using Space to Remember Time
… have the intended effect, such as the lack of visuo-motor engagement in the activity, the short duration of visual exposure to spatial primes, and the delay resulting from the memory task in between the priming activity and the timeline task. Our future work focuses on mitigating these issues …

Home-based exergames to improve cognitive function in Multiple Sclerosis: the EXTREMUS Study
Background. Motor and cognitive dysfunctions are common and disabling features in multiple sclerosis (MS) that remain challenging to be treated. Exergaming is an emerging tool in neurorehabilitation, which promotes motor functions and fitness level. Evidence in general population and in other …

The relationship between growth, development and social milieu - a longitudinal study involving preschool Coloured children in Cape Town
… assessment designed to assess gross motor function, fine motor development including visuo-motor skills and language, both comprehension and expression as well as basic colour and number concepts. Social data were collected during home visits by two experienced, full-time research …

Age-related differences in visuomotor integration as measured by object affordance effects - a combined behavioural and neurophysiological investigation
Visuomotor behaviour – from handling simple objects to operating complex devices – is of fundamental importance in our everyday lives, yet there is relatively little evidence as to how healthy ageing affects these processes. A central role is played by the human capacity for reaching and grasping. …
