One of the tests i had to do for the Psycho/neuro thing was to measure something similar - not on a keyboard, but on a clicking device that looks like the thing radar on Mash used to send morse code messages - except it had a sort of timer attached so that you could measure rate of clicking, i suppose. the psychoneuro-man was amazed that although i am (supposedly) right handed, i performed much better with my left hand - all those years of playing Bach, perhaps - or was it just because the pd started in my right side? hilary blue (51/33/24) judith richards wrote: > > On Saturday, January 29, 2000 6:58 PM, janet sent: > > Subject: PMID: 10634240: Quantitative digitography: measuring digital > motor control in PD > > >This study introduces a new method for studying, quantitatively, the > dynamics of finger movement using data obtained from sequences of key > strikes on a computer-interfaced piano keyboard. > >We demonstrate that the performance of 60 seconds of alternating finger > tapping on a computerized keyboard... > >This is the first time that such a method has been used in the > measurement of specific kinematics of digital motion in Parkinson's > disease. > > Didn't Brian Collins have a program like this a year or so ago? > > ~~~~ > Judith Richards, London, Ontario, Canada > [log in to unmask] > ^^^^ > \ / > \ | / Today’s Research > \\ | // ...Tomorrow’s Cure > \ | / > \|/ > `````
