A cross-species neural integration of gravity for motor optimisation

2019-08-08

Abstract excerpt

Recent kinematic results, combined with model simulations, have provided support for the hypothesis that the human brain uses an internal model of gravity to shape motor patterns that minimise muscle effort. Because many different muscular activation patterns can give rise to the same trajectory, here we analyse muscular activation patterns during single-degree-of-freedom arm movements in various directions, which...
