Opis

Bernstein's Construction of Movements: The Original Text and Commentaries is the first English translation of Nikolai Bernstein’s most important book. Supplementing the translation is a series of commentaries by scientists who knew Bernstein, a leading neuroscientist of the 20th cent., as well as leaders in related fields.

Recenzje

"We are fortunate to now have a new full translation of Nikolai Bernstein's book On the Construction of Movements (1947). Few if any researchers have had such long-lasting impact as Bernstein on our understanding of motor control in intact and neurologically impaired subjects. Bernstein began his work in Russia early in the last century and his publications extend almost to his death in 1966. His ideas about muscle synergy, hierarchical control and feedback mechanisms in the nervous system have seen a major resurgence in recent years, in spite of the fact that the technologies he used were quite limited in their precision. We now have a crisply written and highly readable translation of this pivotal volume written by a distinguished international leader in human motor control research, who continues current exploration of Bernstein's ideas using new technologies, and relying heavily on modern instrumentation, modern physics and mathematics." —William Zev Rymer, Northwestern University, USA
