METE 5108G - Neuromechanics and Control of Human Movement


This course combines principles of mechanical system dynamics and control with motor neuroscience and musculoskeletal biomechanics to model and simulate how humans integrate sensory information, estimate, plan, control, and adapt movements. The topics include system dynamics to model human movement, concepts of inverse dynamics and forward dynamics and the general way to describe rigid-body motion in the Newton-Euler or Lagrange formulation, musculoskeletal and nervous systems interaction, neural strategies for the control of postures and motion, numerical and computational methods to simulate human movement, motor control learning and planning, and multisensory integration and filtering for the body state estimation.
