A Probabilistic Analysis of Muscle Force Uncertainty for Control.
BACKGROUND: We control the movements of our body and limbs through our muscles. However, the forces produced by our muscles depend unpredictably on the commands sent to them. This uncertainty has two sources: irreducible noise in the motor system's processes (i.e., motor noise) and variability in the relationship between muscle commands and muscle outputs (i.e., model uncertainty). Any controller, neural or artificial, benefits from estimating these uncertainties when choosing commands. METHODS…

Meet Midwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Model System research assistant, Kelly Keel
Meet Kelly Keel, her role involves working with people who are at an especially difficult time in their lives– spinal cord injury patients in inpatient rehabilitation soon after their injuries.
