Representation of functional hierarchies of movement in the brain

Abstract

The article discusses the notion of a functional hierarchy of movement and the problem of segmentation of movement behaviour. It is shown that certain principles, implicitly contained in the work of N. A. Bernštein can be formalized and further developed into a consistent methodology for the identification of individual levels. In section 5 a formal development is given of some neuro-biological ideas informally discussed in the preceding sections of the article. The formal apparatus used is based on generalized topologies and abstract logics. Fuzzification of models is discussed.
