Computational approaches to motor control

Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2001 Dec;11(6):655-62. doi: 10.1016/s0959-4388(01)00265-3.

Abstract

New concepts and computational models that integrate behavioral and neurophysiological observations have addressed several of the most fundamental long-standing problems in motor control. These problems include the selection of particular trajectories among the large number of possibilities, the solution of inverse kinematics and dynamics problems, motor adaptation and the learning of sequential behaviors.
