Reduced motor cortex inhibition and a ‘cognitive-first' prioritisation strategy for older adults during dual-tasking

It is well established that older adults are less able to perform attentionally demanding motor tasks, placing them at greater risk of accident-related injury. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate whether the interplay between …

Hand tapping at mixed frequencies requires more motor cortex activity compared to single frequencies: An fNIRS study

Fast cyclic movements and discrete motor acts are controlled differently, presumably because fast cyclic tasks are more automated, thereby depending on different circuits. If fast cyclic movements are made less predictable (e.g., by mixing …
