    This study analyzes a nonlinear model of human head rotations, identifying controller signal parameters as most influential for movement trajectories and accelerations. Findings offer insights for experimental design and clinical neurological applications.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomechanics
    • Neuroscience
    • Systems Biology

    Background:

    • Understanding human head rotation dynamics is crucial for fields ranging from robotics to clinical rehabilitation.
    • Existing models often lack comprehensive analysis of parameter influence and experimental design guidance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze a sixth-order nonlinear model of horizontal head rotations in humans.
    • To employ extended parameter sensitivity analysis and global optimization for model insights.
    • To compare head and eye movement systems using sensitivity analyses.

    Main Methods:

    • Extended parameter sensitivity analysis (direct and indirect senses).
    • Global optimization algorithm for automated model fitting.
    • Definition and application of resolution based on sensitivity tables.
