To provide a neurophysiological tool for assessing sensorimotor pathways, which may differ for those involving distal muscles in simple tasks from those involving distal muscles in a kinetic chain ...
Startling acoustic stimuli (SAS) can accelerate reaction times ("StartReact" effect), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Both direct release of a subcortically stored motor program and a ...
The StartReact paradigm remains one of the few techniques available in humans to evaluate the reticulospinal drive in different tasks and/or muscles. Recent studies have highlighted the usefulness of ...
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 ...
