Chapter 10 Asymmetries in the dynamics of interlimb coordination

Two experiments were conducted to examine whether asymmetries in cortical organization with respect to timing functions are expressed in the dynamics of self paced, and externally paced, rhythmic coordination tasks. Four subjects performed movements of the ankle and the wrist, in two modes of coordination, anti-phase and in-phase. In Experiment 1, subjects conducted these movements at their preferred frequencies. In Experiment 2 their movements …
