Abstract: Voluntary movement initiation involves the modulations of large groups of neurons in the primary motor cortex (M1). Yet similar modulations occur during movement planning when no movement occurs. Here, we show that a sequential spatiotemporal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17461391.2020.1788648
Abstract: Abstract Experts keep a steady final fixation at a specific location just before final movement initiation, the so-called “quiet eye” (QE). However, the eyes are rarely “quiet”, and small eye movements occur during visual fixation.… read more here.

DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.4108216
Abstract: A spatiotemporal pattern of excitability propagates across the primary motor cortex prior to the onset of a reaching movement in non-human primates. If this pattern is a necessary component of voluntary movement initiation, it should… read more here.
