Article Synopsis
- - Moving smoothly is often seen as ideal motor control, but many controlled movements (like tracking) show irregular velocity, which suggests that not all smoothness indicators are the same.
- - The study involved analyzing arm movements of healthy participants, revealing that most movement segments were smooth regardless of speed, with consistent durations and increasing amplitudes.
- - Researchers propose that both fast and slow movements stem from a similar control process, where slow movements arise from tracking a sequence of intermediate goals, which could help explain slow movements seen in brain disorders.
