  2. 21. Wrist ligaments : innervation patterns and ligamento-muscular reflexes

    Author : Elisabet Hagert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Wrist ligaments; mechanoreceptors; proprioception; sensorimotor functions; neuromuscular control; ligamento-muscular reflexes; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Objectives: The principal role of wrist stability is to facilitate the dexterous hand in a multitude of functions. To achieve joint stability, in general, a fine interaction of both static and dynamic elements is of essence. READ MORE

  4. 22. Discharges in human muscle afferents during manual tasks

    Author : Michael Dimitriou; Benoni Edin; Roger Lemon; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor control; muscle spindle; Golgi tendon organ; muscle afferent; microneurography; proprioception; sensorimotor; fusimotor; hand; forward model; ; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : Muscle spindles are complex sensory organs that have been strongly implicated in the control and perception of movements. Human muscle spindles in relaxed muscles behave as stretch receptors, responding to the length and velocity of their parent muscles. READ MORE

  5. 23. A multidisciplinary system identification of the human precision grip

    Author : Anders Fagergren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis focus on the unique human ability to pick up and manipulate small objects using the precision grip, i.e., the fine grip between the index finger and the thumb. This ability is formed by the interplay between the complex biomechanical machinery of the hand and the neural networks within the central nervous system. READ MORE

  6. 24. Biting and chewing behaviours in humans : development and age-related changes

    Author : Nabeel Almotairy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: The central nervous system initiates chewing and biting behaviours, while the peripheral sensory receptors embedded in various orofacial structures (e.g. masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint, and periodontium) are responsible for refining those behaviours.

  7. 25. Generative models for action generation and action understanding

    Author : Judith Bütepage; Danica Kragic; Ivan Laptev; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Computer Science; Datalogi;

    Abstract : The question of how to build intelligent machines raises the question of how to rep-resent the world to enable intelligent behavior. In nature, this representation relies onthe interplay between an organism’s sensory input and motor input. Action-perceptionloops allow many complex behaviors to arise naturally. READ MORE
