The authors investigated the effect of an auditory cue on the choice of the initial swing leg in gait initiation. Healthy humans initiated a gait in response to a monaural or binaural auditory cue. When the auditory cue was given in the ear ipsilateral to the preferred leg side, the participants consistently initiated their gait with the preferred leg.

IHI with the index fingers isometrically abducted against a fixed plate (AAP task) was compared with IHI with the index fingers isometrically abducted against each other (AAF task). The index fingers were held stationary at the midline and activity levels of the first dorsal interosseous muscles were equalized between the tasks.

- Neural interaction between eye and hand movement centers plays a crucial role in eye-hand coordination, evidenced by how smooth pursuit eye movements influence motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) in hand muscles.
- The study investigated which brain signals contribute to MEP modulation during smooth pursuit, finding that MEPs elicited by anterior-posterior current were enhanced while those from other directions were not.
- The latency for MEPs from anterior-posterior current was longer, suggesting that this current primarily activates later I-waves in the brain during steady-state smooth pursuit movements.
