Synopsis

From an October 2000 NATO workshop comes 25 papers addressing basic research in human neurophysiology and applications in clinical neurology. The papers are grouped into sections dealing with sensorimotor integration, motor behavior, posture and locomotion, nerve system disorders, and modeling and computational analysis of sensorimotor systems. Specific topics include cognitive aspects of human motor behavior, integration of upright posture and bipedal locomotion in primates, cross correlation techniques used to identify activation of intrafusal fibers buy fusimotor axons, and estimation of motor task effects on adaptation and learning from recorded single movement related brain potentials.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Despite the intensive experimental and theoretical studies for over a century, the general processes involved in neural control of pasture and movement, in learning of motor behavior in healthy subjects and in adaptation in pathology were and remain a challenging problems for the scientists in the field of Sensorimotor Control.

The present state and the perspectives of the study in this field are the focus of the Advanced Research Workshop “Sensorimotor Control” and of the book which is the outcome of the meeting.
