Progress in Motor Control A Multidisciplinary Perspective

Progress in Motor Control A Multidisciplinary Perspective / edited by Dagmar Sternad.

The area of motor control is a relatively young but thriving field of research. Over the last few decades it has grown into a broad multidiciplinary area of research spanning the disciplines of neurophysiology, kinesiology, neuroscience, robotics, psychology, nonlinear dynamics, biomechanics and bio...
