Unveiling the neuromechanical mechanisms underlying the synergistic interactions in human sensorimotor system

Abstract Motor synergies are neural organizations of a set of redundant motor effectors that interact with one another to compensate for each other’s error and ensure the stabilization of a performance variable. Recent studies have demonstrated that central nervous system synergistically coordinates...
