The Effects of Motor Modularity on Performance, Learning, and Generalizability in Upper-Extremity Reaching: a Computational Analysis

2019-10-13

Abstract excerpt

It has been hypothesized that the central nervous system simplifies the production of movement by limiting motor commands to a small set of modules known as muscle synergies. Recently, investigators have questioned whether a low-dimensional controller can produce the rich and flexible behaviors seen in everyday movements. To study this issue, we implemented muscle synergies in a biomechanically realistic model of...
