Exploring imitation of within hand prehensile object manipulation using fMRI and graph theory analysis by Werner Krammer, John H. Missimer, Vanessa Vallesi, Manuela Pastore-Wapp, Georg Kägi, Roland Wiest, Bruno J. Weder

“…A video guided the 26 healthy, right-handed volunteers through the three phases of the task: (1) fixation of a hand holding a cuboid, (2) observation of the sensori-motor manipulation, (3) imitation of that motor action. fMRI recorded the task; graph analysis of the acquisitions revealed the associated functional cerebral connectivity patterns. …”

The effect of single and dual task training on the intracortical inhibition in young and old adults by Michael Wälchli, Craig Tokuno, Benedikt Lauber, Wolfgang Taube

“…Young groups had 6 and old groups 9 balance training sessions within 3 weeks, the DT training consisted of cognitive and motor secondary tasks. Pre and post training, a balance task was performed on a rocker board in three different conditions: 1) balance only 2) balance + secondary motor (ball on a tray) and 3) balance + secondary cognitive (2-back). …”
