{"pk":31923,"title":"Primitives as a basis for movement synthesis","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Recent data from spinal frogs and mammals suggests that movements may be constiucted fiom a standard set of primitives which represent postures and force patterns around postures. These postural primitives may be combined for movement synthesis and may also interact non-linearly. New data shows that the set of primitives may also contain of a collection of members which encapsulate aspects of movement control and dynamics. The linear interactions, non-linear interactions, and dynamic controls provide a means of bootstrapping motor learning. The non-linear interactions enable a basic pattern generator and a reflex functionality which can be parameterized and modified for elaboration of more complex behaviors.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Invited Symposia","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/0sb5j3vf","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Simon","middle_name":"F.","last_name":"Giszter","name_suffix":"","institution":"Department of Neurobiology & Anatomy","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1996-01-01T13:00:00-05:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/31923/galley/22988/download/"}]}
