Sternad D. (ed.) Progress in Motor Control: A Multidisciplinary Perspective

New York: Springer, 2009. - 727 p.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 biology, with no specific rank order. As of yet, there is no textbook that represents the area in its breadth. This book aims to fill that gap by bringing researchers together from this wide range of disciplines to discuss the control and coordination of processes involved in perceptually guided actions.Nature of Motor Control: Not Strictly “Motor”, Not Quite “Control”
