Examining the size-weight illusion with visuo-haptic conflict in immersive virtual reality.
(SAGE Publications, 21 February 2019)When we experience our environment, we do so by combining sensory inputs with expectations derived from our prior knowledge, which can lead to surprising perceptual effects such as small objects feeling heavier than equally ... -
Torque-planning errors affect the perception of object properties and sensorimotor memories during object manipulation in uncertain grasp situations.
(American Physiological Society, 29 March 2019)Predicting instead of only reacting to the properties of objects we grasp is crucial to dexterous object manipulation. Although we normally plan our grasps according to well-learned associations, we rely on implicit ... -
Gaze training supports self-organization of movement coordination in children with developmental coordination disorder
(Nature Research, 8 February 2019)Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) struggle with the acquisition of coordinated motor skills. This paper adopts a dynamical systems perspective to assess how individual coordination solutions might ... -
MyoCount: a software tool for the automated quantification of myotube surface area and nuclear fusion index
(F1000Research, 13 March 2019)It is often desirable to characterise the morphology of myogenic cultures. To achieve this, the surface area of myotubes is often quantified, along with the nuclear fusion index (NFI). Existing methods of such quantification ... -
The foot is more than a spring: Human foot muscles perform work to adapt to the energetic requirements of locomotion
(Royal Society, 23 January 2019)The foot has been considered both as an elastic mechanism that increases the efficiency of locomotion by recycling energy, as well as an energy sink that helps stabilize movement by dissipating energy through contact with ...
