Motor Control as the Control of Perception

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2013
This paper describes a test of Perceptual Control Theory (PCT), which views motor control as part of a process of controlling perceptual inputs rather than motor outputs. Sixteen undergraduate students ( M age = 19.9 yr.) were asked to control one of three different perceptual aspects of an animated display—a shape, a motion or a sequence—using the ...

Thyratron motor control

Electrical Engineering, 1943
The control of d-c motors was one of the first electronic-control projects. Recent developments, particularly the fully automatic and co-ordinated control of the armature power circuit and the field power circuit, have greatly increased the acceptability of these controls for industrial use. This paper describes the control functions associated with an

Language and motor control

Experimental Brain Research, 2000
We investigated the possible influence of automatic word reading on processes of visuo-motor transformation. Subjects reached and grasped an object on which the following Italian words were printed: "VICINO" (near) or "LONTAN" (far) on an object either near or far from the agent (experiments 1, 2); PICCOLO (small) or "GRANDE" (large) on either a small ...

Motor control of birdsong

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2002
One of the challenges when considering the motor control of birdsong is to understand how such a wide variety of temporally and spectrally diverse vocalizations are learned and produced. A better understanding of central neural processing, together with direct endoscopic observations and physiological studies of peripheral motor function during singing,

Vestibular motor control

2023
The vestibular system is an essential sensory system that generates motor reflexes that are crucial for our daily activities, including stabilizing the visual axis of gaze and maintaining head and body posture. In addition, the vestibular system provides us with our sense of movement and orientation relative to space and serves a vital role in ensuring

Speech motor control

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994
The development of new measurement techniques and improved models of the larynx and the vocal tract have significantly advanced our understanding of speech motor control. Recently, several groups have been using electromagnetic transduction techniques to record tongue movements.

Stepping Motor Control

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1983
Abstract An algorithm for computing robust sets of pulse timing for stepping motors that will follow arbitrary but predetermined trajectories is presented. The algorithm uses simulated feedback control and pole assigment techniques to compute the desired torque.

Controlling the Motor Neuron

International Review of Neurobiology, 1999
Publisher Summary This chapter describes three sensory-to-motor reflexes and their associated central circuits and synapses. The uniquely identifiable neurons comprising these reflex circuits offer an excellent opportunity for investigating detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the development and operation of the central nervous system (CNS ...

On induction motors control

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 1997
This paper deals with the control of induction motors. First we show that field-oriented control can be simplified by considering the modulus square of the flux, namely F=f/sup 2/=/spl phi//sub a//sup 2/+/spl phi//sub b//sup 2/ instead of f. Second, we perform an input-output linearizing control without using any of Lie derivatives.

D.C. motor control

IET Professional Development Course on Electric Traction Systems, 2006
Control systems for d.c. traction motors are well established. The developments in power converters, particularly GTO thyristors and IGBTs, and the use of microprocessor controllers have produced control systems which offer a wide and flexible control range with efficient power conversion, whilst utilising relatively simple control techniques. The main
