• From motor to sensory processing in mirror neuron computational modelling (2010, methodology): “The outcome of the PCA analysis presented in Mason et al. (2001) shows that the first three eigenpostures (principal components are called eigenpostures in that context) account for more than 95% of hand-joints variability.”
• Hand Posture Subspaces for Dexterous Robotic Grasping (2009, background): “The second explanation assumes that motor control synergies take place at a higher level in the central nervous system, as discussed for example by Mason et al. (2001) and Cheung et al. (2005).”
• Hand function: peripheral and central constraints on performance. (2004, background): “During reaching movements directed to objects with different shapes, the fingers move so as to gradually preshape the entire hand to approximate the object contours as the hand approaches (55, 73).”
• The Science of Neural Interface Systems (2009, neutral): “Several psychophysical studies, however , have indicated that natural grasp postures and reaching-to-grasp movements reside in a much smaller subspace of physically possible movements (Ingram et al. 2008, Mason et al. 2001, Santello 2002).”
• Intention and motor representation in purposive action (2014, background): “representations of action outcomes (Arbib 1985; Mason et al. 2001; Santello et al. 2002).”
• Patterns of Hand Motion during Grasping and the Influence of Sensory Guidance (2002, result): “It is also in contrast to the procedure used recently by Mason et al. (2001).”
• Generalization of human grasping for multi-fingered robot hands (2012, background): “The gain in grasp accuracy does, however, plateau at around five dimensions [22], [20].”
