  • Perceptual and Motor Effects of Muscle Co-activation in a Force Production Task
    Publication

    - NEUROSCIENCE - Year 2020

    We tested several predictions of the theory of motor control with spatial referent coordinates related to effects of muscle coactivation on force production and perception. In particular, we predicted that subjects would produce unintentional force increase by finger flexors and be unaware of this force increase. Healthy subjects performed steady force production task in isometric conditions with visual feedback on the force level....
