2.183/2.184 Neural Control of Movement

Spring 2010

Professor: 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.

Term wrap-up

Thank you for your interesting presentations this week.

My grades are due early next week. Please get your final term-project report to me as soon as possible, no later than this weekend.

I would like a paper copy to read and an electronic copy (if possible). I would also like an electronic copy of your presentation and especially any movies. With your permission, I may use this material in subsequent offerings of this class. (If I do, I will, of course, acknowledge your authorship.)

Finally, don't forget to visit the course evaluation website.

Enjoy you summer!

Assignment 8 solution corrected

Hi all,

I have corrected some errors in the solution of assignment 8.

In problem 4-3, some details of expression of K are modified. Accordingly, in 4-4, the threshold of u_g and u_n is modified to be 0.44.

I have finished grading the assignments. If you need your graded solution urgently (e.g., for your term project), please let me know so that I can find the quickest way to give your work back to you. Otherwise, I will bring the graded homework on Tuesday.
