ABSTRACT

One of the most fascinating problems in the field of motor control theory is the understanding of how the brain controls voluntary movements. The physiological structures and strategies involved in the emergence and execution of such tasks have been intensively studied in recent decades. The nervous impulse paths inside the central nervous system (CNS), as well as the force modulation mechanisms, are well known [6, 7]. However, reliable computational models able to reproduce quantitatively complex motor tasks are still a challenge.
