    About this ebook

    During the past two decades, there has been a dramatic increase
    in interest in the study of motor control and learning. In this
    volume authors from a variety of backgrounds and theoretical
    perspectives review their research with particular emphasis on
    the methods and paradigms employed, and the future direction of
    their work. The book is divided into four main sections. The
    first section contains chapters examining general issues and
    trends in the movement behaviour field. The remaining three
    sections contain chapters from scientists working in three
    broadly defined areas of interest: coordination and control;
    visuo-motor processes; and movement disorders. Each section
    provides an overview of the different approaches and different
    levels of analysis being used to examine specific topics within
    the motor domain.

      For an empirical science, physics can be remarkably dismissive of some of our most basic observations. We see objects existing in definite locations, but the wave nature of matter washes that away. We perceive time to flow, but how could it, really?
