Invariant body kinematics: II. Reaching and neurogeometry
نویسنده
چکیده
Invariant methods for formulating and analying the mechanics of the skeleto-muscular system with geometric algebra are further developed and applied to reaching kinematics. This work is set in the context of a neurogeometry research program to develop a coherent mathematical theory of neural sensory-motor control systems.

Time-Invariant Strategies in Coordination of Human Reaching
This paper addresses validation of a curvature-theory-based time-invariant inverse kinematic model and a related tracking algorithm for human motor control of reaching motions. Human subjects made unconstrained reaching motions in the horizontal plane to fixed targets at three self-selected speeds. Consistent shoulder/elbow joint speed ratios for motions to the same target across speeds were ob...
متن کاملToy-oriented changes in early arm movements III: constraints on joint kinematics.
The purpose of this study was to identify invariant features of shoulder and elbow kinematics during prereaching arm movements with and without a toy present. Invariant movement features may reflect the presence of constraints that reduce the complexity of learning to reach and provide a link between early arm movements and reaching. Joint excursion and smoothness were consistently greater at t...
متن کاملA Survey of Mathematical Structures for Extending 2D Neurogeometry to 3D Image Processing
In the era of big data, one may apply generic learning algorithms for medical computer vision. But such algorithms are often ”black-boxes” and as such, hard to interpret. We still need new constructive models, which could eventually feed the big data framework. Where can one find inspiration for new models in medical computer vision? The emerging field of Neurogeometry provides innovative ideas...
متن کاملPredicting Reaching Postures Using a Kinematically Constrained Shoulder Model
We present a new muscle effort criteria for predicting physiologically accurate upper limb motion in human subjects based on skeletal kinematics, muscle routing kinematics, and muscle strength characteristics. The new criteria properly accounts for the cross-joint coupling associated with the routing kinematics of multi-articular muscles. We also employ a new kinematically constrained model of ...
متن کاملDo arm postures vary with the speed of reaching?
Do arm postures vary with the speed of reaching? For reaching movements in one plane, the hand has been observed to follow a similar path regardless of speed. Recent work on the control of more complex reaching movements raises the question of whether a similar "speed invariance" also holds for the additional degrees of freedom. Therefore we examined human arm movements involving initial and fi...
