Summary
Researchers quantified sensorimotor control system (SCS) limitations for tracking fast movements. Nonlinear models predict phenomena linear models miss, revealing frequency bounds based on neuron and muscle biophysics for restoring agile motor control.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Biophysics
- Control Theory
Background:
- Accurate tracking of moving objects relies on neuron biophysics and muscle dynamics.
- Trade-offs between these factors and motor commands are not well quantified.
