A scientific evening with N.A. Bernstein and R.A. Schmidt

Abstract

The author presents the conceptual organization of human motor operation based mainly on Bernstein’s and Schmidt’s ideas. Bernstein invented the revolutionary five-level movement construction system, based on evolutionary and neurophysiological data. Schmidt is the author of the conceptual model of human motor performance, no doubt the most popular – all over the world – the graphic representation of mechanisms underlying human motor behaviour. This paper presents an attempt at joining both the concepts. Joining M1, M2, triggered and M3 responses with the five-level movement construction system (termed by Bernstein “brain skyscraper”) enables modification of the very illustrative and instructive Schmidt conceptual model of a motor operation. While analysing it from the perspective of Bernstein’s “brain skyscraper”, and especially its functional version, the “modalities ladder”, one might create a slightly reformed diagram depicting the relations between particular mechanisms underlying human motor behaviour. Moreover, while analysing the achievements of Bernstein and Schmidt, it becomes possible to discover how many common elements may be found in the ideas of both of these Giants.
