The first reaching movements of human in- fants lack limb coordination leading to ataxic- like hand trajectories. Kinematically, these early trajectories are characterized by multi- ple peaks in the hand velocity profile which gradually... more
Do patients with unilateral neglect exhibit direction-specific deficits in the control of movement velocity when performing goal-directed arm movements? Five patients with left-sided neglect performed unrestrained three-dimensional... more
There is increasing evidence that the cerebellum and the basal ganglia serve not only a role in motor control but also in visual perception. Patients with... more
Short term vibration of the dorsal neck muscles (10-35 s) is known to induce involuntary movements of the head in patients with spasmodic torticollis. To investigate whether neck muscle vibration might serve as a therapeutic tool when... more
With head movement, suppression of vestibular inputs during visual exploration is necessary not only for reorienting gaze, but also to direct attention to new visual targets. People with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) have... more
The aim of the present paper is to propose that the adoption of a framework of biological development is suitable for the construction of artificial systems. We will argue that a developmental approach does provide unique insights on how... more
