Topological Tools in Model of Motor Control in Humans
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2006, Vol 16, Issue 35
Abstract
In the paper new tools of mathematical modelling have been presented. They are applied to description of information processing both in motor control process in humans, and in movements learning. The new model of memory has been adopted, with distinguished two paths of information processing: sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) ones. Two already existing notions of uncontrolled manifold (UCM) and goal equivalent manifold (GEM) were presented. They represent the transformations in the motor path. It was also pointed out at the actual application of a manifold in the process of sparse coding in the afferent path. The possibilities of more extended application of topological tools - manifolds and homeomorphisms - in the description of motor control process and motor learning were presented. It was also stated that the new description tools might enrich our knowledge about sensory-perceptual behaviour of a human, but they do not constitute a new theory by itself. Thus, the need to create such a theory becomes more and more urgent.
