Motor control is the study of how organisms make accurate goal-directed movements. Here
we consider two problems that the motor system must solve in order to achieve such control …

In order to generate skilled and efficient actions, the motor system must find solutions to
several problems inherent in sensorimotor control, including nonlinearity, nonstationarity …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

The emulation theory of representation is developed and explored as a framework that can
revealingly synthesize a wide variety of representational functions of the brain. The …

We present a view of the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) as a sensorimotor interface for
visually guided movements. Special attention is given to the role of the PPC in arm …

▪ Abstract Robotic devices are hel** shed light on human motor control in health and
injury. By using robots to apply novel force fields to the arm, investigators are gaining insight …

A viable hypothesis to explain the compromised motor ability of children with Developmental
Coordination Disorder (DCD) suggests a fundamental deficit in their ability to utilize internal …

Eye–hand coordination is complex because it involves the visual guidance of both the eyes
and hands, while simultaneously using eye movements to optimize vision. Since only hand …

Motor learning can be framed theoretically as a problem of optimizing a movement policy in
a potentially uncertain or changing environment. This is precisely the general problem …

The cerebellum has been proposed to be a crucial component in the state estimation
process that combines information from motor efferent and sensory afferent signals to …
