Motor control relies on multiple sources of information. To estimate the position and motion of the hand, the brain uses both vision and body-position (proprioception and kinesthesia) senses from sensors in the muscles, tendons, joints, and skin. Although performance is better when more than one sensory modality is present, visuomotor adaptation suggests that people tend to rely much more on vi...

Enforced limb disuse strongly disrupts the cortical networks that are involved in sensorimotor activities. This disruption causes a cortical reorganization that may be functionally maladaptive. In this study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate whether it is possible to prevent this reorganization by compensating for the lack of actual kinesthetic perception with...

The significance of auditory and kinesthetic feedback to pitch control in singing was described in a previous report of this project for students at the beginning of their professional solo singer education.(1) As it seems reasonable to assume that pitch control can be improved by training, the same students were reinvestigated after 3 years of professional singing education. As in the previous...

Combination of visual and kinesthetic information is essential to perceive bodily movements. We conducted behavioral and functional magnetic resonance imaging experiments to investigate the neuronal correlates of visuokinesthetic combination in perception of hand movement. Participants experienced illusory flexion movement of their hand elicited by tendon vibration while they viewed video-recor...

We previously reported that a kinesthetic illusion, induced by a visual stimulus using a movie video (KiNVIS), produces vivid kinesthetic feeling in a healthy subject and in a patient with stroke, even though the body is actually in a resting condition [1-3]. The subjective kinesthesia felt in the first person during KiNVIS is generally vivid and, in our experience, stronger than that experienc...

OBJECTIVE Low Birth Weight [LBW] (1500gr ≤ Birth Weight ≤ 2499 gr) is one of the most serious health problems in neonates. These neonates need complementary interventions (e.g. tactile-kinesthetic stimulation) to promote development. This study was conducted to determine the effect of Tactile-Kinesthetic Stimulation (TKS) on physical and behavioral development of Low Birth Weight neonates. ME...

Abstract : Learning styles are placed as the important role for students and it is key to success in learning. Therefore, really need recognize their learning that appropriate themselves figure out strategies lead them objectives can be effectively achieved. This study aimed at describing; 1) on XI grade SMA Negeri Siwalima , 2) of Siwalima, 3) impact students’ mastering English language Siwali...
