Excerpt from The Accuracy of Voluntary Movement In view of all this interest, it is somewhat surprising that the subject of movement has received so little attention from one of the great departments of psychological research. We have as yet no psychophysics of the voluntary movements. By this I mean that we have no large mass of detailed study into the normal relations of voluntary movement to consciousness. We have nothing in this line that can compare with the immense amount of work done on the relation of perception to the stimulus perceived; or, to widen our view, we have nothing in the general subject of voluntary movement that can compare in completeness with the work done and still doing in all depart ments of sensation.

Motor control is a relatively young field of research exploring how the nervous system produces purposeful, coordinated movements in its interaction with the body and the environment through conscious and unsconscious thought. Many books purporting to cover motor control have veered off course to examine biomechanics and physiology rather than actual control, leaving a gap in the literature. This book covers all the major perspectives in motor control, with a balanced approach. There are chapters explicitly dedicated to control theory, to dynamical systems, to biomechanics, to different behaviors, and to motor learning, including case studies. - Reviews current research in motor control - Contains balanced perspectives among neuroscience, psychology, physics and biomechanics - Highlights controversies in the field - Discusses neurophysiology, control theory, biomechanics, and dynamical systems under one cover - Links principles of motor control to everyday behaviors - Includes case studies delving into topics in more detail
