Three-Dimensional Kinematics of the Eye,Head and Limb Movements


The 19th-century pioneers of motor physiology used the mathematics of motion, known as kinematics, to describe the laws of human movement and to deduce the neural control principles underlying these laws. After long neglect the kinematic approach is now resurging, fortified with modern computers and electrophysiology.Mirroring this trend, three-dimensional analysis of eye, head and limb movements has become increasingly popular during the last ten years. Many scientists, however, still have problems with geometrically correct data handling. Furthermore, many clinicians realize the importance of studying movements in all degrees of freedom, since, after all, that is what motor systems have to control. In this book, some of the world's leading scientists of motor control discuss how the brain represents and transforms the kinematic variable of movement. Background chapters explain the basic concepts of noncommutativity, redundancy, and the classical laws - and their application to normal
