Mechanisms for Generating Intermittency During Manual Tracking Task

Intermittent velocity peaks of movement trajectory are commonly observed when subjects perform manual tracking task. However, the underlying mechanism of such intermittency has not been revealed yet. Focusing on the process of updating the internal target

Preface

Five decades of brain research have led to the emergence of a new field, spanning the entire spectrum of cognition from synaptic dynamics to social interactions, and which integrates nonlinear neurodynamics operating simultaneously at and across various scales. A new kind of scientist is emerging, schooled in multiple academic disciplines, comfortable in working with data from different levels, and conversant with the mathematical and computational tools that are es
