different levels, including rules associated with respective laws of nature, will increase and decrease depending on both external conditions and the status of various parts of the interacting three-level system. Some rules may be inherently stronger than others, but context always makes a significant

Motor Control: Creating a Natural Science of Biological Movement
Mark L. Latash
exploring laws of nature that define the interaction among the central nervous system, peripheral motor apparatus, sensory organs, and the environment during biological movements. Laws of nature are concise descriptions of our observations of objects. Commonly, they are expressed as equations that link
Abundant Degrees of Freedom Are Not a Problem

computing requisite neural signals from brain structures to produce appropriate forces that would lead to desired actions. The alternative approach views the CNS as a physical (physiological) system that performs no computational operations but behaves according to laws of nature. Of course, researchers

This definition does not specify exactly how control is organized in the CNS. However, traditionally, it is thought that in

of this concept compatible with the approach to the neural control of movement based on laws of nature, the physical approach. The notion of primitives has been used in fields other than motor control, in particular in studies of perception (e.g., Logothetis & Sheinberg, 1996 ) and cognition (e

Within this approach, parameters manipulated by the brain have been associated with spatial RCs for the moving effectors. The
