    This study introduces a computational model for movement trajectory formation, separating spatial and temporal aspects using basic curve elements (strokes). The model effectively describes and stores arm movements, offering insights into motor control.

    Area of Science:

    • Computational Neuroscience
    • Biomechanics
    • Robotics

    Background:

    • Understanding trajectory formation is crucial for motor control research.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the complexity of human movements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel computational model for trajectory formation.
    • To analyze and describe various types of arm movements, including handwriting.

    Main Methods:

    • A computational model based on the composition of basic curve elements (strokes).
    • Separation of spatial and temporal aspects of movement.
    • Digitization and analysis of experimental trajectories (point-to-point, closed, spiral, handwritten).
    • Computation of velocity and curvature profiles for model fitting.
