Handedness and the excitability of cortical inhibitory circuits (2012)
Journal Article
Reid, C. S., & Serrien, D. J. (in press). Handedness and the excitability of cortical inhibitory circuits. Behavioural Brain Research, 230(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2012.02.008

Inhibitory processes play a significant role in the control of goal-directed actions. To increase insights into these mechanisms as a function of handedness, we measured the transient inhibition of volitional motor activity induced by single pulse tr...

Prediction of collision events: an EEG coherence analysis (2011)
Journal Article
Spapé, M. M., & Serrien, D. J. (2011). Prediction of collision events: an EEG coherence analysis. Clinical Neurophysiology, 122(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinph.2011.01.047

Objective: A common daily-life task is the interaction with moving objects for which prediction of collision events is required. To evaluate the sources of information used in this process, this EEG study required participants to judge whether two mo...

Motor awareness and dissociable levels of action representation (2011)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2011). Motor awareness and dissociable levels of action representation. Neuroscience Letters, 494(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2011.02.077

The present study evaluated the performance of a tracking task during which no, a small (subliminal: 20°) or a large (conscious: 60°) rotational perturbation was implemented. The instantaneous as well as carry-over effects of the perturbations were a... Read More about Motor awareness and dissociable levels of action representation.

Interregional synchrony of visuomotor tracking: perturbation effects and individual differences (2010)
Journal Article
Spapé, M. M., & Serrien, D. J. (2010). Interregional synchrony of visuomotor tracking: perturbation effects and individual differences. Behavioural Brain Research, 213(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2010.05.029

The present study evaluated the neural and behavioural correlates associated with a visuomotor tracking task during which a sensory perturbation was introduced that created a directional bias between moving hand and cursor position. The results revea... Read More about Interregional synchrony of visuomotor tracking: perturbation effects and individual differences.

Coupling between perception and action timing during sensorimotor synchronization (2010)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2010). Coupling between perception and action timing during sensorimotor synchronization. Neuroscience Letters, 486(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2010.09.056

Time is an important parameter in behaviour, especially when synchronization with external events is required. To evaluate the nature of the association between perception and action timing, this study introduced pitch accented tones during performan...

Interactions between new and pre-existing dynamics in bimanual movement control (2009)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J. (2009). Interactions between new and pre-existing dynamics in bimanual movement control. Experimental Brain Research, 197(3), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1910-6

Motor skills are commonly acquired through practice. This process not only involves acquisition of the particular task demands but also requires overcoming pre-existing modes. In the present study, interactions between new and intrinsic dynamics were... Read More about Interactions between new and pre-existing dynamics in bimanual movement control.

The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement (2009)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2009). The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement. Experimental Brain Research, 199(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-009-1998-8

The present study evaluated the neural changes due to effector use (unimanual left, unimanual right, bimanual) and visuomotor conflict induced by mirror-reversed vision during drawing behaviour. EEG phase synchronization, expressing interregional com... Read More about The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement.

Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement (2009)
Journal Article

Interactions between brain regions are necessary for compound activities to take place. Accordingly, evaluating hemispheric information processing during skilled behaviour provides valuable knowledge about brain regulation. To this end, the present s...

Bimanual information processing and the impact of conflict during mirror drawing (2009)
Journal Article

Successful motor behavior depends on optimal information processing and planning. In the present study, the neural response of the motor system to conflict of visuomotor discrepancy (mirror-reversed vision) and complexity (task difficulty and hand la...
