CONTEXT Quadriceps-activation deficits have been reported after meniscectomy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in conjunction with maximal contractions affects quadriceps activation in patients after meniscectomy. OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of single-pulsed TMS on quadriceps central activation ratio (CAR) in patients after meniscectomy. DESIGN Randomized controlled clinical tr...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to validate the use of electromyography (EMG) for detecting responses to command in patients in vegetative state/unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (VS/UWS) or in minimally conscious state (MCS). METHODS Thirty-eight patients were included in the study (23 traumatic, 25 patients >1 year post-onset), 10 diagnosed as being in VS/UWS, eight in MCS- (no response ...

This experiment tested the hypothesis that skin temperature variability during instructions to attempt skin temperature self-control without feedback (volitional vasomotor lability) predicts the acquisition of vasomotor control through biofeedback training. Skin temperature was recorded from the hands of 232 volunteers during a screening session. Twenty-three labile and 17 stabile subjects were...

Itamar Kastner (NYU) 1. The focus of this paper is the nonactive Hebrew verbal template hitpa'el, in which three root consonants are arranged in the basic form hitXaYYeZ (citation form, M.SG). In this kind of rootand-pattern morphology, the middle consonant is geminated, the root is prefixed with hitand certain vowels are inserted. HitXaYYeZ verbs are never transitive; empirically, I explain th...

Oscillatory activity in motor cortex has been observed in many experimental contexts, leading to various hypotheses about its possible behavioral function. In this issue of Neuron, Engelhard et al. (2013) report that oscillations can be volitionally controlled, opening new directions to explore their function and underlying mechanisms.

The agonist-antagonist myoneural interface is a novel surgical construct and neural interfacing approach designed to augment volitional control of adapted prostheses, preserve proprioception, prevent limb atrophy in the setting amputation.

Проблема регуляторной активности как фактора детерминации психики, которая имеет разные уровни, сознательный, так и неосознанный, наиболее тщательно рассматривается при исследовании «субъект-объектных» «субъект-субъектных» отношений. Понятие включает такие важные категории, саморегуляция, самодетерминация, целеустремленность, рефлексия, свобода, ответственность, принятие решения контроль. В кон...

The article is devoted to the understudied challenges of establishing pedagogical conditions for training students' volitional traits in physical activities. Recent research and publications on circumstances are emphasized, terms «condition» «pedagogical condition» defined. This reveals critical role educational settings development characteristics during workouts. main goals this emphasize sig...
