Fatigue and motor redundancy: adaptive increase in finger force variance in multi-finger tasks.

abstract：:The amygdala plays a crucial role in evaluating the emotional significance of stimuli and in transforming the results of this evaluation into appropriate autonomic responses. Lesion and stimulation studies suggest involvement of the amygdala in the generation of the skin conductance response (SCR), which is an indirec...
