The following is a reference to the public dataset consisting
primarily of the data that I recorded for my doctoral thesis. These
comprise electrophysiology data from the primary motor and somatosensory
cortices in addition to simultaneously tracked hand kinematic data.
These data were uploaded to Dryad and can be downloaded here. These data may
be of interest to you if you are studying hand kinematics, the neural
basis of proprioception, or the neural control of movement, particularly
in the context of grasping or reaching. These data should be reasonably
well annotated, but I don’t doubt some questions will arise. When they
do, feel free to reach out!

Notes about credit assignment:
The author list reflects
that of the paper it accompanies (link) and does not
reflect credit for the data collection per se.
The grasping data are the same as those used in Goodman et al. 2019
(link) and
collected by Goodman, J.M., Tabot, G.A., Lee, A.S., Rajan, A.T.,
and Okorokova, E.V. under the supervision of Hatsopoulos, N.G. and
Bensmaia, S.J.
The reaching data are the same as those used in Harpaz et al. 2019
(link) and collected
by Paulsen, D., Reimer, J., and Haga, Z. under the supervision of
Hatsopoulos, N.G.
Please excuse the complicated credit assignment described above.
These complications arise from the realities of sharing data that were
pooled across different research groups, laboratories, and even
decades.
