We address the underexplored role of visual feedback in ensuring stability of pressing force produced in isometric conditions by the two hands. We considered the task as a two-level hierarchy (total force, F TOT , and hand forces, F HAND ) and used the framework of the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis to quantify synergies stabilizing F TOT and F HAND . Young healthy persons performed steady-state forces with visual feedback a...

Viewing one’s smartphone whilst walking commonly leads to a slowing of walking. Slowing walking speed may occur because of the visual constraints related to reading the hand-held phone whilst in motion. We determine how walking-induced phone motion affects the ability to read on-screen information. Phone-reading performance (PRP) was assessed whilst participants walked on a treadmill at various speeds (Slow, Customary, Fast)....

Binaural beat (BB) is a promising technique for memory improvement in elderly or people with neurological conditions. However, the related modulation of cortical networks followed by behavioral changes has not been investigated. The objective of this study is to establish a relationship between BB oscillatory brain activity evoked by stimulation and a behavioral response in a short term memory task. Three Groups A, B, and C of...
