MORE THAN FINGER COUNTING: SHARED RESOURCES BETWEEN FINGER TAPPING AND ARITHMETIC
… with particular focus on the relation between finger movements and addition. In addition, how bodily measures (e.g. handedness, finger counting habits, finger tapping ability) interact with cognitive measures (e.g. math ability, digit span, spatial ability) was investigated. The results provide …

The effects of concurrent timed-interval finger tapping on trace eyeblink conditioning in college students
… the traditional dual-task design. Timed-interval finger tapping, a motor function mediated by the cerebellar cortex, and several different cognitive tasks representing dissociable distributed brain memory systems were co-administered with trace eyeblink conditioning. If cerebellar cortex is …

The immediate effects of rhythmic arm swing and finger tapping exercises on gait of Parkinson's patients
… of a rhythmic arm swing exercise vs. a rhythmic finger tapping exercise on gait parameters of individuals in the early stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). The study design was a randomized control trial involving three experimental conditions: control group, tapping group and arm swing group. …

Visual Computing and AI Technologies to Analyse Movement Disorders Associated with Parkinson’s Disease for Diagnostic Purposes
… three upper limb motor examinations, including finger tapping, opening-closing and pronation-supination hand movements. Clinicians reviewed movement performance in each video and assigned corresponding MDS-UPDRS scores, providing motor symptom severity class labels for classification and …

Der Effekt des Alters auf die frühe off-line und die späte schlafgebundene Konsolidierung motorischer Fertigkeiten
… die Konsolidierung einer komplexen bimanuellen Finger-Tapping-Aufgabe bei älteren Erwachsenen. An der Studie nahmen 123 gesunde Rechtshänder teil, darunter 62 junge (18–30 Jahre) und 61 ältere Erwachsene (48–67 Jahre). Die Teilnehmenden wurden geschlechterbalanciert randomisiert verschiedenen …

Evaluating Digital Health Technologies to Advance Parkinson's Disease Care
… 1. The evaluation of a computerised paced finger tapping task (PFT) that was found to correlate with a measure of verbal fluency, suggesting there may be potential to implement the PFT as part of a wider finger tapping battery to be used as a screening tool for PD executive dysfunction. 2. …

Multi-label/multi-class Deep Learning Classification Of Spatiotemporal Data
… each label is designated one of three different finger tapping frequencies. </p><p>This novel multi-labeling/multi-class schema is one part of being able to detect useful information in the data. The other part of the process lies in the machine learning algorithm, the network model. In order to …

The effect of subconcussive blows on fine motor control
… All subjects completed a Purdue pegboard task, finger tapping task and an isometric force control task. Group differences in test performance were assessed using a t-test and a 3-way ANOVA with repeated measures. RESULTS: Data analysis revealed differences in between athletes and non-athletes in …

The use of audio stimulation to affect sensorimotor learning
Sensorimotor learning for the hand and fingers can be conducted using both hardware and software components, but the training regime is also important. Using repetitive sequence tapping allows measurement of defined metrics in a controlled, safe environment, and therefore statistical indications …

Dynamic state-space estimation of the hemodynamic response with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
… at rest and during a motor task consisting of finger tapping. The effect of distance between the short and the long channel was first quantified by recovering a synthetic hemodynamic response added over the resting-state data. The effect was also observed in the functional data collected during …

An investigation of the integrity of two components of the cerebellar neurocircuitry involved in classical eyeblink conditioning in children prenatally exposed to alcohol: a magnetic resonance spectroscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging study
… children during rhythmic vs. non-rhythmic finger tapping, smaller differences in BOLD (blood oxygenation level dependent) activation were observed in children with FASD in two, namely vermis IV-V and right Crus I. Increasing levels of prenatal alcohol exposure were, however, associated with …

Pattern recognition of brain fMRI images for various physiological states
… binary and multi-class classification. Bilateral finger tapping data which had two distinct states "Active" and "Rest" were used for binary classification. Binary classification was done using Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) and Least Square Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM). Gas mixture data, …

Application of bootstrap resampling in fMRI
… the subject is instructed to perform bilateral finger tapping. The results of the study showed that the active regions detected using the bootstrap resampling technique considering temporal dependency in the fMRI data were more reliable than the active regions detected using the bootstrap …

Auto detection in autism
… haemodynamic responses during a bilateral finger tapping task are analyzed for both autistic subjects and normal control subjects. fMRI is a noninvasive technique to image the activity of the brain related to a specific task. Generally, the active voxels in the IMRI images are detected …

Electroencephalographic and Cognitive Underpinnings of Inhibitory Control in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: From Actions to Thoughts
… of uncertainty; (vi) Learning and practising a finger tapping sequence on a smartphone application (app) can have clinical benefits as a 'habit-reversal' treatment; and (vii) Metacognitive functions such as memory confidence and vividness are impaired in OCD, prompting the need to repeat …

Associations Between Neuromotor and Neurocognitive Functioning in Adults with Schizotypal Personality Disorder
… included a computerized motor task and finger tapping test. Cognitive assessments included measures of attention, verbal and visual memory, and executive functioning. Consistent with previous research, the SPD group displayed significant right hand (left hemisphere) motor disturbances …

Neuroimaging investigation of the motor control disorder, dystonia with special emphasis on laryngeal dystonia
… BG activity observed after performance of a finger tapping task in hand dystonia patients may represent an amplification of a normal motor control mechanism. As dystonia has been hypothesized to result from overactivation of normal postural programs, this study aimed to investigate the …

Mapping inter-subject and inter-regional brain connectivity during free viewing of novel natural scenes
… studies have used controlled tasks such as finger tapping to isolate function in distinct cortical. Recent studies have examined the mechanisms involved during natural conditions by asking subjects to freely view the presentation of a movie. The objective of our study was to further observe …
