The phenomenon of agonist-antagonist muscle coactivation is discussed with respect to its
consequences for movement mechanics (such as increasing joint apparent stiffness …

A number of internal model concepts are now widespread in neuroscience and cognitive
science. These concepts are supported by behavioral, neurophysiological, and imaging …

Driven by recent empirical studies, we offer a new understanding of the degrees of freedom
problem, and propose a refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a …

Cocontraction (the simultaneous activation of antagonist muscles around a joint) provides
the nervous system with a way to adapt the mechanical properties of the limb to changing …

Synergy discusses a general problem in biology: The lack of an adequate language for
formulating biologically specific problems. Written for an inquisitive reader who is not …

The article offers a way to unite three recent developments in the field of motor control and
coordination:(1) The notion of synergies is introduced based on the principle of motor …

This study compared adaptation in novel force fields where trajectories were initially either
stable or unstable to elucidate the processes of learning novel skills and adapting to new …

In the field of motor control, two hypotheses have been controversial: whether the brain
acquires internal models that generate accurate motor commands, or whether the brain …

Dr. Anatol G. Feldman is one of the world's foremost neuroscientists in the area of motor
control. His work has had a strong and sustained influence in behavioral neuroscience since …

We present in outline a theory of sensorimotor control based on dynamic primitives, which
we define as attractors. To account for the broad class of human interactive behaviors …
