Abbreviating the Finger Tapping Test.
The Finger Tapping Test (FTT) has a strong empirical base but its procedures are inconsistent and the test can be time-consuming. To simplify and abbreviate administration procedures, several potential abbreviated procedures were evaluated using a sample of 71 individuals presenting to a VA Hospital for neuropsychological evaluation. A short version using the mean score of Trials 3-5 for each h...
متن کاملAnalysis of finger-tapping movement.
The piano-playing-like finger-tapping movement has been analyzed with a precision image-based motion analyzer (PRIMAS). 32 healthy subjects (148 recordings) and 10 Parkinsonian patients (25 recordings) were tested. The tracking of fingers during the whole movement increased the level of information obtained from the finger-tapping test compared to visual observation or to measurement with simpl...
متن کاملSpeech Recognition Using Finger Tapping Timings
Behavioral synchronization between speech and finger tapping provides a novel approach to improving speech recognition accuracy. We combine a sequence of finger tapping timings recorded alongside an utterance using two distinct methods: in the first method, HMM state transition probabilities at the word boundaries are controlled by the timing of the finger tapping; in the second, the probabilit...
متن کاملNicotine Increases Cerebellar Activity during Finger Tapping
Nicotine improves performance on several cognitive and sensorimotor tasks. The neuronal mechanisms associated with these changes in performance are, however, largely unknown. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to examine the effect of nicotine on neuronal response in nineteen healthy subjects while they performed an auditory-paced finger tapping task. Subjects performed the t...
متن کاملFinger tapping movements of Parkinson's disease patients automatically rated using nonlinear delay differential equations.
Parkinson's disease is a degenerative condition whose severity is assessed by clinical observations of motor behaviors. These are performed by a neurological specialist through subjective ratings of a variety of movements including 10-s bouts of repetitive finger-tapping movements. We present here an algorithmic rating of these movements which may be beneficial for uniformly assessing the progr...
