Activity in the human primary motor cortex related to ipsilateral hand movements.

In two studies with positron emission tomography (PET), we found that somatosensory discrimination of length activated the ipsilateral MI, but somatosensory discrimination of shape did not. This occurred even though both tasks required the exclusive use of distal finger and hand movements which were also very similar in both tasks. The activation of the ipsilateral MI was correlated with activations of the premotor cortex in the other hemisphere, the prefrontal cortex and the posterior cingulate cortex, indicating that these areas together with the ipsilateral MI constitute a task-related active network.

F. Hegelmaier: on memory for the length of a line.

A very early student project undertaken by Friedrich Hegelmaier (1833-1906), published in German in 1852, is republished in English translation. Slight though the experimental work is, it nevertheless occupies a unique place in the history of experimental psychology. It is the source whence Fechner had the method of constant stimuli, a method that continued in use as the preferred psychophysical method, substantially in the form described here, for more than a century. The experiment is arguably the first experiment in the modern sense of a systematic preplanned body of observations and has the glaring faults that one would expect in a very first experiment. Finally, Hegelmaier suggests the use of two simultaneous tasks as a means to investigate human performance, a full hundred years before that idea was realized in practice. If only he had continued in experimental psychology!
