Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

2.8K
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.

Relative Motion Analysis - Acceleration

361
A slider-crank mechanism converts rotational motion from the crank into linear motion of the slider or vice versa. This mechanism consists of three main parts: the crank, the connecting rod, and the slider. The movement of the slider-crank is an example of general plane motion as the fluctuating angle between the crank and the connecting rod. Consider a segment AB where point A is at the end of the slider and point B is on the diametrically opposite end to point A, on a crack. The variance in...

Consider a crane whose telescopic boom rotates with an angular velocity of 0.04 rad/s and angular acceleration of 0.02 rad/s2. Along with the rotation, the boom also extends linearly with a uniform speed of 5 m/s. The extension of the boom is measured at point D, which is measured with respect to the fixed point C on the other end of the boom. For the given instant, the distance between points C and D is 60 meters.
Here, in order to determine the magnitude of velocity and acceleration for point...

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - II

The Bradford Hill criteria serve as guidelines for establishing causative links in epidemiological research. Beyond Strength, Consistency, Specificity, and Temporality, key criteria also include Biological Gradient, Plausibility, Coherence, Experiment, and Analogy. These principles assist scientists in assessing the likelihood of causation in complex biological contexts. Below is a summary of these concepts:

Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame.
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...

Criteria for Causality: Bradford Hill Criteria - I

The Bradford Hill criteria are a group of principles that provide a framework to determine a causal relationship between a specific factor and a disease. There are nine criteria that are pivotal in assessing causality in epidemiological studies. Here's a closer look at Strength, Consistency, Specificity, and Temporality criteria with definitions and examples:

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Perception of motion relies on understanding reference frames. A new Bayesian model explains how the brain infers perceived motion by integrating visual information across multiple, hierarchically organized reference frames.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Computational Vision
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • Defining motion perception is challenging due to the relativity of reference frames.
  • Previous psychophysical studies yielded conflicting evidence regarding the dominant reference frame (retinotopic, egocentric, world-centric, object-centric).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a hierarchical Bayesian model that explains how retinal velocities are mapped to perceived velocities.
  • To investigate the role of multiple, causally connected reference frames in visual motion perception.
  • To provide a normative framework for understanding reference frame selection in perception.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a hierarchical Bayesian model incorporating a "friction" prior to represent stationary velocities within reference frames.
  • Inverted the model to demonstrate automatic segmentation of visual input into hierarchical groups and "perception" of motion within appropriate frames.
  • Conducted two new experiments to test critical model predictions.

Main Results:

  • The model successfully maps retinal velocities to perceived velocities by considering a hierarchy of reference frames.
  • Model inversion demonstrated automatic segmentation of visual scenes and identification of motion within relevant frames.
  • Experimental data supported key predictions of the hierarchical Bayesian model.
  • Inferred individual observers' subjective sets of reference frames.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed hierarchical Bayesian model offers a unified framework for understanding reference frame selection in motion perception.
  • The model provides a quantitative, normative justification for fundamental Gestalt principles.
  • This work inspires the development of more sophisticated models for visual processing.
