Infos

This single volume brings together both theoretical developments in the field of motor control and their translation into such fields as movement disorders, motor rehabilitation, robotics, prosthetics, brain-machine interface, and skill learning. Motor control has established itself as an area of scientific research characterized by a multi-disciplinary approach. Its goal is to promote cooperation and mutual understanding among researchers addressing different aspects of the complex phenomenon of motor coordination. Topics covered include recent theoretical advances from various fields, the neurophysiology of complex natural movements, the equilibrium-point hypothesis, motor learning of skilled behaviors, the effects of age, brain injury, or systemic disorders such as Parkinson's Disease, and brain-computer interfaces.

Jozsef Laczko is head of Department of Information Technology and Biorobotics at University of Pecs in Hungary. He also holds positions in the Wigner Research Centre for Physics in Budapest and an adjunct assignment at the Northwestern University in Chicago. Dr. Laczko earned his Ph.D. in mathematics at the Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest, Hungary. He is experienced in computational approaches for motor control. He has published over 40 papers in refereed journals and proceedings, four book chapters and has presented over 50 professional talks. He was the chair of the 'Progress in Motor Control X' conference of the Society for Motor Control. His chief research interest is on the area of biomechanics, and in the last decade, he became engaged in the control of Functional Electrical Stimulation driven limb movements for spinal cord injured individuals.

Mark L. Latash is a Distinguished Professor of Kinesiology and Director of the Motor Control Laboratory at the Pennsylvania State University. He studied Physics, Physics of Living Systems, and Physiology in Moscow and Chicago. His research is focused on the control and coordination of human voluntary movements and movement disorders. He is the author of numerous books including, Control of Human Movement, The Neurophysiological Basis of Movement, Synergy, Fundamentals of Motor Control, and Biomechanics and Motor Control: Defining Central Concepts (with Vladimir Zatsiorsky). In addition, he edited nine books and published over 350 papers in refereed journals. Dr. Latash was the Founding Editor of the journal 'Motor Control' and as President of the International Society of Motor Control. He continues to serve as Director of the annual Motor Control Summer School series. He is a recipient of the Bernstein Prize in motor control.
