Neuro-Behavioral Determinants of Interlimb Coordination: A multidisciplinary approach focuses on bimanual coordination against the broader context of the coordination between the upper and lower limbs. However, it is also broad in scope in that it reviews recent developments in the study of coordination by means of the latest technologies for the study of brain function, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, near-infrared spectroscopy, magneto-encephalography, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. In addition, new developments in recovery of interlimb coordination following spinal cord injury and other insults of the central nervous system, such as stroke, are reviewed.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
From the reviews:
"With this book the authors attempted to diminish the gap between different approaches towards the study of interlimb coordination. . In this respect, the authors succeeded in their intention to let the book be a helpful source of information for scientist in basic research as well as practitioners involved in clinical settings." (G. Koopmans, Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy, Vol. 30, 2005)
