A recent set of experiments of ours supported the notion of a transition in experience from readiness-to-hand to unreadiness-tohand proposed by phenomenological philosopher Martin Heidegger. They were also an experimental demonstration of an extended cognitive system. We generated and then temporarily disrupted an interactiondominant system that spans a human participant, a computer mouse, and ...

OBJECTIVE To observe the real-time muscle activity of bilateral hands while subjects draw circles under 2 conditions: with and without using Ramachandran's mirror-box. SUBJECTS A total of 24 healthy volunteers. METHODS Subjects drew 4 circles sequentially using their dominant hand with the other hand at rest, both with and without looking at a mirror image. Circles were marked by 8 dots on ...

background and aim: quick speech in noise (q-sin) test has popularity for evaluating speech recognition in noise. the present study has been paid to build five new persian lists with respect to all possible factors affecting the test, to determine validity of the test and to run five lists for normal hearing subjects and assessment of reliability. methods: to build lists, frequent, familiar and...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine whether two-handed task training is effective on motor learning of injured cerebral cortex activation and upper extremity function recovery after stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Two hemiplegic subjects participated in this study: one patient was affected on the dominant side of the body and the other was affected on the non-dominant side of th...

background: hand grip strength (hgs) is a reliable indicator of peripheral muscle strength. although, numerous studies have investigated the strength of hand grip; little attention has been given to coronary artery disease (cad) patients, exploring the relationship between hgs and myocardial oxygen consumption (mvo2) index. the current study aimed to evaluate the interaction between hgs and mvo...

oroginal article tiller is a handy multi – a purpose tractor is used in agriculture. the noise emitted from tiller may be seriously affected auditory system users. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the exposure to noise in operators of this device. in this study 36cultivator tiller was examined. measurement of sound is based in iso 5131-1996 and iso 7216 standard and was conducted in in...

During single-finger force production, the non-instructed fingers unintentionally produce force (finger enslaving). In this study, enslaving effects were compared between the dominant and non-dominant hands. The test consisted of a series of maximum voluntary contractions with different finger combinations. Enslaving matrices were calculated by means of training an artificial neural network. Th...
