1.
Johansson R, Westling G, Backstrom A, Flanagan J
J Neurosci . 2001 Aug; 21(17):6917-32. PMID: 11517279
We analyzed the coordination between gaze behavior, fingertip movements, and movements of the manipulated object when subjects reached for and grasped a bar and moved it to press a target-switch....

Trulsson M, Francis S, KELLY E, Westling G, Bowtell R, McGlone F
Neuroimage . 2001 Apr; 13(4):613-22. PMID: 11305890
The technique of intraneural microneurography/microstimulation has been used extensively to study contributions of single, physiologically characterized mechanoreceptive afferents (MRAs) to properties of somatosensory experience in awake human subjects. Its power...

Ehrsson H, Fagergren A, Jonsson T, Westling G, Johansson R, Forssberg H
J Neurophysiol . 2000 Jan; 83(1):528-36. PMID: 10634893
Most manual grips can be divided in precision and power grips on the basis of phylogenetic and functional considerations. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare human brain activity...
4.
Lemon R, Johansson R, Westling G
Can J Physiol Pharmacol . 1996 Apr; 74(4):547-58. PMID: 8828899
Transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) was used to investigate corticospinal influences during a task in which human subjects had to reach out and grasp and lift an object. TMS applied...

Thomas C, Westling G
Brain . 1995 Dec; 118 ( Pt 6):1547-56. PMID: 8595483
Properties of tactile afferent units innervating the glabrous skin of the hand were examined by microneurography in 11 individuals who had no or impaired touch perception due to chronic (>...
6.
Lemon R, Johansson R, Westling G
J Neurosci . 1995 Sep; 15(9):6145-56. PMID: 7666197
Transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) was used to assess the influence of the corticospinal system on motor output in seven human subjects during a task in which they had to...

Eliasson A, Forssberg H, Ikuta K, Apel I, Westling G, Johansson R
Exp Brain Res . 1995 Jan; 106(3):425-33. PMID: 8983986
When an object held by a precision gripis subjected to an abrupt vertical load perturbation, somatosensory input from the digits triggers an increase in grip force to restore an adequate...

Forssberg H, Eliasson A, Kinoshita H, Westling G, Johansson R
Exp Brain Res . 1995 Jan; 104(2):323-30. PMID: 7672024
The adaptation of the grip forces to the frictional condition between the digits and an object relies on feedforward sensorimotor mechanisms that use tactile afferent input to intermittently update a...
9.
Johansson R, Lemon R, Westling G
J Physiol . 1994 Dec; 481 ( Pt 3):761-75. PMID: 7707242
1. We have investigated the afferent neurogram, muscular activity and mechanical responses while subjects restrained, with a precision grip, an object subjected to pulling loads directed away from the hand....

Gordon A, Westling G, Cole K, Johansson R
J Neurophysiol . 1993 Jun; 69(6):1789-96. PMID: 8350123
1. While subjects lifted a variety of commonly handled objects of different shapes, weights, and densities, the isometric vertical lifting force opposing the object's weight was recorded from an analog...
