Explore the intricate sensory-motor transformations in movement planning using geometric stage postural paths. Analyze how the brain computes joint angles for hand positioning, engaging in error correction by orienting with sensory feedback. Delve into gradient descent simulations and experiments involving co-articulation. Gain a deeper understanding of movement speed invariance and the strategies employed for accurate arm postures.
