To measure dynamic visuo-motor coupling within the two hemispheres, we showed observers an animation of a rotating cup. They indicated with left or right buttons when a Wxation dot in the center of the animation changed color. For either hand, response times changed continuously with the irrelevant position of the cup’s handle, even when the perceptual asymmetry of the handle was controlled. Th...

We report on a patient with mirror movements sustained by a mono-hemispheric fast control of bilateral hand muscles and normal hand function. Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the right motor cortex evoked contractions of muscles in both hands while no responses were observed from the left hemisphere. Somatosensory-evoked potentials, functional magnetic resonance, and diffusion tractography ...

Weight bearing on the paretic lower extremity and transfer of weight from one lower extremity to the other are important goals of stroke rehabilitation. Improvements in these limb loading and weight transfer abilities have been shown to relate to improved performance of many functional activities. Unfortunately, valid and practical clinical measures of paretic lower extremity loading and weight...

Purpose. to research and analyze of the indicators functional asymmetry in different sportsmanship level esports athletes.
 Methods. study involved 20 middle-aged athletes (18±1.53) years old, divided into groups according their sportsmanship. Group 1: elite players semi-professional teams CS:GO DOTA 2 disciplines, n=10, age (19.2±0.50) years. 2: amateur players, (18.2±1.04) The movements ...

We have realized real-time steering of the directed transport in a Brownian motor based on cold atoms in optical lattices and demonstrate drifts along predesigned paths. The transport is induced by spatiotemporal asymmetries in the system, where we can control the spatial part, and we show that the response to changes in asymmetry is very fast. In addition to directional steering, a real-time c...

CONTEXT Just as typical development of anatomical asymmetries in the human brain has been linked with normal lateralization of motor and cognitive functions, disruption of asymmetry has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). No study has examined the development of cortical asymmetry using longitudinal neuroan...

Expert musicians show experience-dependent reduced asymmetry in the structure of motor-related brain areas and in the maximum tapping frequency between the hands. Therefore we hypothesized that a reduced hand-skill asymmetry is strongly related to rapid and rhythmical bimanual coordination and developed a dynamical model including a symmetry-breaking parameter Δω, for human bimanual coordinatio...

conclusions the most effected parts in asd are lateral connections of hmasd. two-sided connections which are completely symmetric become more active, and cause extra synchronization. on the other hand, due to special characteristic of two-sided connections and their ability to simulate the same phased dynamics, they cause unnatural asymmetry in children’s eeg signal. these results are consisten...
