1. Attenuation of hand-held machine vibrations. Application of non-linear tuned vibration absorber
Abstract : Vibration injury in the hand-arm system from vibrating hand-held machines is one of the most common occupational health injuries and causes severe and often chronic nerve and vascular injuries to the operator. The objective with this study is to contribute to reduce hand-arm vibration injuries, first by developing methods of redesigning machines that will lower their vibration level and second to study how high frequency vibrations (HFV) above 1250 Hz effect the finger tissue which are not included in the current standard for risk evaluation.

2. Health effects from occupational hand-arm vibration
Abstract : Hand-arm vibration (HAV) is a common occupational exposure in Sweden and worldwide that causes both acute transient effects and persistent hand-arm symptoms. The health effects include vibration-induced Raynaud’s phenomenon, neuropathic symptoms, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), and musculoskeletal disorders. READ MORE

3. Structural and functional changes in the brain after surgically repaired median nerve injury
Abstract : Despite the best available surgical repair, traumatic median nerve injury within the forearm typically causes lifelong impairment in hand function. This stems from an inadequate reinnervation of the nerves supporting sensory functions of the thumb, index and long finger, and of nerves supplying intrinsic hand muscles. READ MORE

4. Neural correlates of individual differences in personality and intelligence : studies using an isochronous timing task and voxel based morphometry
Abstract : It is easy to imagine that humans have always noticed the differences between themselves and others and perhaps even speculated about the origins of these differences. The study of individual differences as a formal field encompasses variations in intelligence and personality as well as other dimensions. READ MORE

5. On the mind's time : production, perception, and pianists performance of rhythms : neural correlates and neuroanatomical changes
Abstract : Human movements are impressively flexible and precise. They are also coloured by the characteristics with which each person performs an act. This is evident in everyday activities, in sports, in art, and in music performance. READ MORE
