Optimal strategies for movement: success with variability

Stephen H. Scott

The author is in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Centre for Neuroscience Studies, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada. steve@biomed.queensu.ca

A new theory suggests the motor system acts as an optimal feedback controller and predicts such coordination features as task-constrained variability and goal-directed corrections.
