Timing of continuous motor imagery: the two-thirds power law originates in trajectory planning.
The two-thirds power law, v = γκ(-1/3), expresses a robust local relationship between the geometrical and temporal aspects of human movement, represented by curvature κ and speed v, with a piecewise constant γ. This law is equivalent to moving at a constant equi-affine speed and thus constitutes an important example of motor invariance. Whether this kinematic regularity reflects central plannin...
متن کاملEnhanced discriminability for nonbiological motion violating the two-thirds power law.
The two-thirds power law describes the relationship between velocity and curvature in human motor movements. Interestingly, this motor law also affects visual motion perception, in which stimuli moving according to the two-thirds power law are perceived to have a constant velocity compared to stimuli actually moving at constant velocity. Thus, visual motion adhering to biological motion princip...
متن کاملAltered Perceptual Sensitivity to Kinematic Invariants in Parkinson's Disease
Ample evidence exists for coupling between action and perception in neurologically healthy individuals, yet the precise nature of the internal representations shared between these domains remains unclear. One experimentally derived view is that the invariant properties and constraints characterizing movement generation are also manifested during motion perception. One prominent motor invariant ...

Introduction The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of motor imagery training after exercise on motor memory consolidation in the elderly. Materials and Methods The statistical population of the study consisted of healthy men and women in Mashhad nursing homes 22 persons were randomly assigned to 2 groups: motor imagery and control (each group included 11 participants). Int...
متن کاملNoise and the two-thirds power Law
The two-thirds power law, an empirical law stating an inverse non-linear relationship between the tangential hand speed and the curvature of its trajectory during curved motion, is widely acknowledged to be an invariant of upper-limb movement. It has also been shown to exist in eyemotion, locomotion and was even demonstrated in motion perception and prediction. This ubiquity has fostered variou...
