Modulation of grip force with load force during point-to-point arm movements by RANDALL FLANAGAN, J, WING, A. M

“…In this paper, we examine grip forces and load forces during point-to-point arm movements with objects grasped with a precision grip. We demonstrate that grip…”

Knowing your nose better than your thumb: measures of over-grasp reveal that face-parts are special for grasping by EDWARDS, M. G, WING, A. M, STEVENS, J, HUMPHREYS, G. W

“…Typically, when a grasping response is made, the hand opens wider than the target object. We show that this "over-grasp" response is reduced when we reach to…”
