Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

5.9K
The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

487
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Voluntary unpredictable behavior in humans is not random but results from high-dimensional chaos, or hyperchaos. This neural hyperchaos may explain unpredictability in conditions like autism and dementia.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Behavioral Science
  • Complex Systems

Background:

  • Unpredictable escape behavior is crucial for prey survival and is also used in social interactions.
  • The underlying mechanisms of unpredictability, whether randomness or chaos, remain unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the mechanisms generating voluntary unpredictable behavior in humans.
  • To determine if unpredictability arises from randomness or chaotic dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a novel visuomotor task to elicit voluntary unpredictable behavior.
  • Analyzed behavioral data to differentiate between randomness and hyperchaos.
  • Examined age-related differences in predictability.

Main Results:

  • Voluntary unpredictable behavior in the task demonstrated high-dimensional chaos (hyperchaos), not randomness.
  • The decay of predictability was more pronounced in older adults.
  • Neural hyperchaos is a plausible mechanism for voluntary unpredictability.

Conclusions:

  • Voluntary unpredictable behavior in humans can be explained by neural hyperchaos.
  • Findings have implications for understanding conditions affecting behavior and cognition, such as autism, concussion aftereffects, and dementia.
  • This research sheds light on the neural basis of free will.
