I develop computer simulations of human/momkey arm movements in different conditions that mimic the demands of the external world, with mechanical interactions. I try to identify what kind of strategies the brain implements for controlling arm movements in a range of scenarios, how it recovers from sensory and mechanical perturabtions, and how it learns to produce new muscle activation patterns when necessary. I am also working towards understanding if, how and why the current AI systems are different from the nervous system in learning to control movements.
