Abstract

En 中文
The neural control of movement requires the ability to deal with changes, both in the environment and in the parameters that characterize the mechanical structure of the organism. Here we discuss the three types of coordinate representations that sensory and motor systems use to generate and control movements, and argue that the intrinsic redundancy of the musculoeskeletal system can be exploited to implement control signals that result in successful task completion while allowing for variance in trajectory parameters not relevant to the task. We also argue that muscle synergies activated through the stimulation of specific loci along the spinal cord provide evidence for the existence of a vocabulary of motor primitives that can be combined, either simultaneously or sequentially, to generate a broad repertoire of complex movements.
