Hand skill asymmetry in professional musicians.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Though the majority of studies reported impaired sequence learning in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) tested with the Serial Reaction Time (SRT) task, findings are inconclusive. To elucidate this point, we used an eye tracker in an ocular SRT task version (O-SRT) that in addition to RT, enables e...
