Heat exchange processes between the body and the environment are introduced. The
definition of the thermoneutral zone as the ambient temperature range within which body …

Cold environments pose significant risks to human health, well-being, and productivity, with
hands being particularly vulnerable to cold stress and injuries. Mathematical models of hand …

A model construct for coordination and control is pursued according to three related
guidelines:(1) that it directly address Bernstein's problem of how to explain the regulation of …

The purpose of this chapter is to present and to discuss certain principles as a backdrop for
the thesis that an understanding of the developmental facts of movement control and co …

Central to contemporary cognitive science is the notion that mental processes involve
computations defined over internal representations. This view stands in sharp contrast to the …

Temperature profiles within the human body are highly dependent on the geometry and
inhomogeneity of the body. Physical parameters such as density and heat conductivity of the …

In this book, I have attempted to evaluate critically the very large literature which has
accumulated in the area of biofeedback over the past 10-15 years. As might be expected in …

By means of climatic chamber studies the steady-state curves of body temperature and
effector mechanisms of temperature regulation in man are determined for different areas of …

1. The regulated variable of human temperature regulation is certainly not a locally defined
single temperature, it is probably not heat flow and not mean body temperature, but it seems …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses ecological approach to perception and action.
Bernstein believes that the role of “afferentation” in the guidance of activity is the significant …
