8 Behavioral Tasks Covered (Section 4)
- Alternating finger tapping test - splenium FA predictor (Muetzel 2008; López-Vicente 2021)
- Bimanual crank rotation - in-phase vs. anti-phase coupling; laterality effects (Fagard & Corroyer 2003)
- Tactile interhemispheric transfer - posterior body/splenium somatosensory fibers
- Purdue Pegboard - bimanual condition; iSP correlation (Ciechanski 2017)
- MABC-2 - FA/RD correlations in preschoolers (Grohs 2018)
- Bilateral upper-limb cycling - age-dependent bimanual trajectories (Nemanich 2025)
- Mirror movement assessment - TCI maturation marker; pathological in CP
- Reaction time asymmetry / IHTT - concussion sensitivity (Schmidt 2021)
