The paper shows mental tasks modulate cortical and spinal oscillations concurrently, with CST power in beta and low-gamma bands serving as a potential control signal for neural interfaces.

This study investigates whether human participants can voluntarily modulate motor unit firing rates in the tibialis anterior muscle during neurofeedback, finding limited flexibility consistent with rigid control.

This paper demonstrates that a portable OPM-MMG system can decode fine finger movements and recover EMG-like patterns without skin contact or a magnetically shielded room.

This study investigates the ability to control muscle activation in the null-space of the wrist system for movement augmentation, finding limitations in null-space control but capability in concurrent force and co-contraction control.

This study compares optically pumped magnetometers (OPM) and EMG for finger movement discrimination, finding both achieve over 89% accuracy with high agreement.

The paper shows that humans cannot easily control individual motor units independently, as their activation is governed by a shared input signal and changes in de-recruitment order.

This study identifies distinct neural mechanisms for informational and normative conformity using fMRI during a social decision-making task.

This study shows that motor skill learning reduces motor variability and increases planning horizon, with an optimal control model capturing these changes.
