| Abstract | A lay-up by a basketball player is a spectacular example of bodily coordination involving literally thousands of cooperating components. Yet numerous kinds of everyday performance are just as magical: a mouse licking fur on its belly, a child speaking her first words, or even simply walking across uneven ground. How are such actions possible? How are all the elements involved controlled so as to participate in the overall action in just the right way? |
