Sentence examples for skilled actions from inspiring English sources

The design thus mainly aims at investigating the interaction [i.e. (IO IA)–(NO NA)] which allows the assessment of increased neural activity specific to the sensorimotor transformation of object-triggers into skilled actions.

We therefore carried out a PET study in 14 healthy human volunteers with the aim to isolate the neural mechanisms underlying the sensorimotor transformation of object-triggers into skilled actions.

The results (P < 0.05, corrected) showed that producing a wide range of skilled actions triggered by objects (controlled for perceptual, motor, semantic, and lexical effects) activated left inferior parietal cortex.

Apraxia is the inability to perform useful or skilled actions; apraxic patients may be able to name an object such as a comb or key, but they may not know how to use it.

The connection between mind and hand has been reestablished to allow skilled actions and processes (like drawing with one's finger or the Apple Pencil), thereby transforming its surface into a digital piece of canvas.

The cerebellum, so large in the electric fish, has also been supersized in the human brain by evolution; it is deeply connected to the rest of the brain and could play a role in everything from skilled actions such as swinging a Ping Pong paddle to the regulation of thought and emotion.

Since CQM-like neural structures are thought to encode skilled action sequences and bisymmetry is ubiquitous in motor systems it is speculated that trainable pattern recognition in low-level perception has evolved as an internalized motor programme.

In the century between Locke's Essay and Stewart's Elements, then, attention ceases to be seen merely as a certain mode of idea-handling, and comes to be seen as a phenomenon in need of its own explanation, and with a role to play in the explanation of perception, in the explanation of memory (both in its storage and in its recall), and in the explanation of skilled action.

Forward models have been successful in explaining how skilled action can be accomplished without the delays inherent in closed-loop feedback circuits [ 17, 18].

To achieve relatively permanent changes in the capability of producing skilled action, it is crucial to provide the patient with proper feedback in order to produce a positive impact on the neural mechanism promoting motor learning [ 15].

This may affect the establishment of serial ordering of behavioural units, which is fundamental to all forms of skilled action, from speech to typing to reaching and grasping [ 10, 11].
