Abstract
The dynamic characteristics of the human motor coordination system differ depending upon the physiological state. By using complex inputs the predictive apparatus is eliminated and steady state experiments can be used to study the neurological response. A series of linearity and other control experiments elucidate the limitations and adequacies of the method. Some of the features shown are a resonant peak at 3 C.P.S. and both minimum and non-minimum phase elements.
