Spatiotemporal encoding of touch signals in the human somatosensory and motor cortices

Michela Cattabriga, Ali H. Alamri, Taylor G. Hobbs, Alexandriya MX Emonds, Anton R. Sobinov, Robert A. Gaunt, Charles M. Greenspon, Giacomo Valle

This study maps neural responses to touch in human somatosensory and motor cortices, revealing somatotopic activation in motor cortex during passive touch and limited vicarious encoding during observation.

Overlap in neural representations of coordinated wrist and finger movements in human motor cortex

Alexandriya MX Emonds, Elizaveta V. Okorokova, Gary H. Blumenthal, Jennifer L. Collinger, Sliman J. Bensmaı̈a, Lee E Miller, John E. Downey, Anton R. Sobinov

The paper investigates how motor cortex encodes wrist and finger movements, finding shared neural signals for flexion-extension across digits and wrist, and demonstrating improved BCI control by accounting for these constraints.

Object representation in a gravitational reference frame

Alexandriya MX Emonds, Ramanujan Srinath, Kristina J. Nielsen, Charles E. Connor

The paper identifies a neural strategy in the anterior inferotemporal cortex that maintains object orientation stability despite changes in head tilt and retinal image rotation.
