2.183/2.184  Neural Control of Movement

Spring 2019

Instructor: Neville Hogan

TA: Daniel Pekka Poe

Lecture:  TR1-2.30  (4-153)        

Information: 

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

2.183J/9.34J (H-level graduate credit) meets with 2.184 (U credit). Graduate students will be expected to complete additional assignments.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of simple mechanical system dynamics (i.e. ideal mass-spring-damper systems) and basic feedback control analysis (e.g. Laplace and frequency domain representations).
