Webinar: Computational Models of Reaching to Test Hypotheses in Motor Control

Speaker: Mazen Al Borno, Stanford University

In this webinar, you'll learn about the use of computational modeling to 1) test theories behind the speed-accuracy tradeoff and 2) determine if muscle synergies can produce the rich and flexible behaviors seen in everyday movements.
