Methodological lessons in neurophenomenology: Review of a baseline study and recommendations for research approaches.

abstract：:A muscle synergy is a coordinative structure of muscles that has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the number of variables that the central nervous system (CNS) has to address in motor tasks. In this article, the mechanical contribution of muscle synergies and coordinative structures of muscles in voluntary multi-...
