DOI: 10.1007/s00221-018-5173-y
Abstract: This work is motivated by our goal of determining why individuals with stroke are impaired when locating their arms in space. We assessed the ability of individuals without neurological impairments to mirror their forearms during… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-020-05736-8
Abstract: Aging is associated with physiological changes which can manifest as age-related slowing of voluntary movements. Dual-task conditions can magnify this slowing process in older adults. The current study describes healthy adult chewing patterns and examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apergo.2017.07.010
Abstract: It is well established that an increase in cognitive task demands is associated with increased pupil diameter. However, the effect of increased motor task demands on pupil diameter is less clear. Previous research indicates that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.psychsport.2021.102031
Abstract: Abstract An accurate estimate of one’s performance is an important prerequisite for success, and prevents people from taking excessive risks. Based on the selection-margins paradigm (Riediger et al., 2006), the current paper assessed maximum speed… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnbot.2022.795079
Abstract: Assistive exoskeleton robots are being widely applied in neurorehabilitation to improve upper-limb motor and somatosensory functions. During robot-assisted exercises, the central nervous system appears to highly attend to external information-processing (IP) to efficiently interact with… read more here.
