Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Volume 2 of this series contains chapters by more than 12 different internationally known speakers who presented at the Second International Conference of Progress in Motor Control. It continues the spirit of Nikolai Bernstein, who contributed significantly to the structure-function controversy. Unlike Volume 1, which was more theoretical, Volume 2 proposes rather direct relations of the motor function to neurophysical and/or biomechanical structures.

Biografía del autor

Mark L. Latash, PhD, is a professor of kinesiology at Penn State University. Since the 1970s, he has worked extensively in normal and disordered motor control. His work has included animal studies, human experiments, modeling, and clinical studies. The author of Control of Human Movement (Human Kinetics, 1993) and Neurophysiological Basis of Movement (Human Kinetics, 1998), Latash also translated Bernstein's classic, On Dexterity and Its Development (Erlbaum) in 1996. He serves as the editor of the academic journal Motor Control and was a coauthor of Classics in Movement Science (Human Kinetics, 2001). Latash earned a master's degree in physics of living systems from the Moscow Physico-Technical Institute in 1976 and a PhD in physiology from Rush University in 1989. He is a member of the Society for Neuroscience and the American Society of Biomechanics.
