Corticospinal lesions cause impairments in voluntary motor control. Recent findings suggest that some degree of voluntary control may be taken over by a compensatory pathway involving the ...

The rapid release of prepared movements by a loud acoustic stimulus capable of eliciting a startle response has been termed the StartReact effect (Valls-Solé et al., 1999), and premotor reaction times ...

Given that startReact is the most widely used non-invasive tool to assess RST’s role in motor control, our findings provide novel evidence of the effect of increased asymmetrical postural demands on ...

Movement initiation relies on descending motor drive conveying motor commands from the brain to spinal motor circuits, leading to the activation of specific muscles to produce the intended movement.

Body Machine Interface (BoMI) StartReact is a GUI application for the control of a computer cursor with wearable body sensors. BoMI also implements the StartReact experiments to study spinal cord ...
