Neuroscientists at the German Primate Center can predict
grip movements of the hand by measuring brain cell activity
Tying shoelaces, stirring coffee, writing letters, playing
the piano. From the usual daily routine to demanding activities: Our hands are
used more frequently than any other body part. Through our highly developed
fine motor skills, we are able to perform grasping movements with variable
precision and power distribution. This ability is a fundamental characteristic
of the hand of primates.
