Hand and Brain: The Neurophysiology and Psychology of Hand Movements

Description

Hand and Brain is a comprehensive overview of the hand's sensorimotor control. It discusses mediating variables in perception and comprehension, the coordination of muscles with the central nervous system, the nature of movement control and hand positioning, hand-arm coordination in reaching and grasping, and the sensory function of the hand. This book takes a broad interdisciplinary perspective on the control of hand movements that includes neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, psychology and neuropsychology, and biomechanics. The authors, who have all made significant scientific contributions in their own right, have sought to introduce their chosen topics in a manner that the reader is able to follow without sacrificing detailed and up-to-date coverage of the major developments.
