The paper shows humans adjust touch strategies based on perceptual goals, with different physical signals supporting texture perception.

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.

The paper develops a framework to quantify the mechanics of primate dexterous grasp by measuring contact forces, kinematics, and joint torques using an experimental apparatus and musculoskeletal modeling.

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.

The paper shows that neural dynamics during movement are conserved across mice, monkeys, and humans, despite phylogenetic differences.

The paper shows that motor cortex neurons encode movement through a consistent muscle-based principle, explaining both reaching and grasping behaviors without distinct control strategies.

The paper examines how object identity is represented in sensorimotor cortex during the transition from hand opening to grasping, finding that neural representation shifts from motor and proprioceptive areas before contact to cutaneous and integrative somatosensory areas after contact.

The paper identifies distinct neural modes in the sensorimotor cortex that encode grasp force and timing during isometric grasps in tetraplegic individuals.

This study examines how immersive environments affect BCI performance, finding that prior experience with an environment is more important than its immersiveness for decoder performance and generalization.

This study evaluates biomimetic multi-channel microstimulation for restoring high-resolution force feedback in bionic hands through somatosensory cortex stimulation.

This study investigates how microstimulation of somatosensory cortex affects motor cortex activity in paralyzed individuals, finding task-dependent spatial patterns and showing that biomimetic stimulation improves control of a virtual hand.

The paper investigates the localization of intracortical microstimulation-evoked sensations in human somatosensory cortex and demonstrates improved localization with multi-channel stimulation in a bionic hand.

This study compares prehension kinematics between humans and rhesus macaques, finding overall similarity with subtle differences in posture specificity and joint coordination.

The paper validates and scales musculoskeletal models of the human forearm and hand using posture-dependent moment arms, isometric force measurements, and error detection to improve accuracy in torque prediction.

The paper provides an analytical solution to a Brown-type CPG model, demonstrating its efficiency and ability to control symmetric and asymmetric locomotion through parametric sensitivity analysis.
