MOTOR ADPTATION TO DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENTS IN ARM REACHING MOTIONS

Abstract

In daily life, humans must compensate for the resultant forces arising form interaction with the physical environment. Recent studies have shown that humans can acquire a neural representation of the relation between motor command and movement, i.e. learn an internal model of the environment dynamics. The present paper discusses whether humans can identify one side of dynamics from the mixed environment dynamics in the case where humans have experienced either of them.
