TMS can reveal contrasting functions of the dorsal and ventral visual processing streams (2006)
Journal Article
Ellison, A., & Cowey, A. (2006). TMS can reveal contrasting functions of the dorsal and ventral visual processing streams. Experimental Brain Research, 175(4), 618-625. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-006-0582-8

In order to investigate the functional specificity of the dorsal and ventral visual processing steams we used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to briefly disrupt one or the other while subjects performed three tasks, involving discrimination o...

An allocentric rather than perceptual deficit in patient D.F (2006)
Journal Article
Schenk, T. (2006). An allocentric rather than perceptual deficit in patient D.F. Nature Neuroscience, 9(11), 1369-1370. https://doi.org/10.1038/nn1784

The perception/action model states that vision for perception and vision for action are processed in separate pathways. This model was inspired by observations in patient D.F. who seemed unable to use vision for perceptual tasks while retaining 'norm...

Recovery of hand function through mental practice: A study protocol (2006)
Journal Article
Ietswaart, M., Johnston, M., Dijkerman, H., Scott, C., Joice, S., Hamilton, S., & McWalter, R. (2006). Recovery of hand function through mental practice: A study protocol. BMC Neurology, 6, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2377-6-39

Background: The study aims to assess the therapeutic benefits of motor imagery training in stroke patients with persistent motor weakness. There is evidence to suggest that mental rehearsal of movement can produce effects normally attributed to pract...

Modified pen grip in the treatment of writer’s cramp (2006)
Journal Article
Baur, B., Schenk, T., Fuerholzer, W., Scheuerecker, J., Marquardt, C., Kerkhoff, G., & Hermsdoerfer, J. (2006). Modified pen grip in the treatment of writer’s cramp. Human Movement Science, 25(4-5), 464-473. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.humov.2006.05.007

Writer’s Cramp (WC) is a focal, action-related dystonia, which induces hypertonic co-contractions and severely impairs handwriting. One behavioral treatment approach is the handwriting training developed by Mai and Marquardt (1999), [Mai, N., & Marqu... Read More about Modified pen grip in the treatment of writer’s cramp.

Facial and bodily correlates of family background (2006)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, L., & Perrett, D. (2006). Facial and bodily correlates of family background. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1599), 2375-2380. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2006.3579

It has been suggested that absence of the father during early childhood has long-reaching effects on reproductive strategy and development of offspring. This paper reports two studies designed to investigate the physical characteristics of daughters... Read More about Facial and bodily correlates of family background.

Concurrent visuomotor behaviour improves form discrimination in a patient with visual form agnosia (2006)
Journal Article
Schenk, T., & Milner, A. (2006). Concurrent visuomotor behaviour improves form discrimination in a patient with visual form agnosia. European Journal of Neuroscience, 24(5), 1495-1503. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1460-9568.2006.05017.x

It is now well established that the visual brain is divided into two visual streams, the ventral and the dorsal stream. Milner and Goodale have suggested that the ventral stream is dedicated for processing vision for perception and the dorsal stream...
