2.183/2.184 Neural Control of Movement

Spring 2012

Instructor: Neville Hogan

TA: Jooeun Ahn

Lecture: TR1-2.30 (1-273)

Information:

Quantitative knowledge of human movement behavior is important in a growing number of engineering applications (medical rehabilitation technology, athletic and military equipment, human-computer interaction, vehicle performance, etc.) This subject presents a quantitative, model-based description of how biomechanical and neural factors interact in human sensory-motor behavior.

2.183 (H-level graduate credit) meets with 2.184 (U credit). Graduate students will be expected to complete additional assignments.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of system dynamics and control at the level of 2.004 will be assumed; equivalent background (e.g. 2.151) will be accepted.

Correction on Problem Set 9

Hi all,

I have added the parameter values of the simple walking model in Problem 3 of PS 9 as following: m = 80 kg, l = 1 m, alpha = 30 degree, and g = 9.81 m/s^2.
You will need them to solve Problem 3, 3-e.

Sorry for any confusion due to the lack of information.

The last office hour tomorrow

Hi all,

As mentioned in today's class, the HW9 is the last problem set you have to solve. I am planning no office hour from the next week; tomorrow will be the last office hour. However, you are always welcome to arrange a personal meeting with me if you have any question or concern related with the class. Please contact me via email if you need any help.
Good luck on the rest of your semester.
