The programming of structural properties of movement sequences.

The present paper investigates the role of abstract structural properties in the programming and execution of movement sequences. Three experiments, using converging methods, demonstrate that the motor system represents the abstract structural properties of movement sequences. The first two experiments show that hierarchical structures over a sequence of tapping movements can be used to prepare the motor program, even if the specific elements of the sequence are still unknown. Experiment 2 also shows that the preliminary programming of structural properties of a movement sequence takes more time than the programming of specific elements (start elements). Experiment 3 suggests that abstract structural properties can be generalized from a special sequence and that they are transferable to other sequences. Abstract structural properties are assumed to be an important component of generalized motor programs.

[A computer-assisted system for diagnosing rhinologic function].

We describe the new computerized rhinologic diagnostic system "CARIMA", a software-controlled system based on a measuring head and a PC. The currently available software allows active anterior rhinomanometry to be carried out with a special program for the nasal allergen test, as well as active posterior rhinomanometry and the determination of the laryngotracheal resistance in patients with an open tracheostoma. The measurement procedure is controlled by the patient by watching the screen during data collecting. The breaths are averaged after curve correction by splining, introducing a time-referred system into the computerized rhinomanometry. The advantage of the method is a detailed analysis of the increasing and decreasing part of the inspiratory and exspiratory half-wave, allowing clinical conclusions to be made about the nasal valve.
