    The disability deriving from stroke impacts heavily on the economic and social aspects of western countries because stroke survivors commonly experience various degrees of autonomy reduction in the activities of daily living. Recent developments in neuroscience, neurophysiology and computational sci...

    We hypothesize that the motor cortices may function to select and activate fixed muscle synergies specified by the spinal or brainstem networks. To test this hypothesis, we recorded electromyograms (EMGs) from 12-16 upper arm and shoulder muscles from both the unaffected and the stroke-affected arms...

    We ascertained whether: first, the frequency of self-paced finger movements (SPMs), which in normal subjects is around 2Hz, is modified by prior observation of movements performed at either 1 or 3Hz; second, such changes are lasting; third, there is an effect of time interval between observation and...
