Two-Layer Attention Optimization for Bimanual Coordination
Justin Ting, Jing Shuang Li
Bimanual tasks performed by human agents present unique optimal control considerations compared to cyberphysical agents. These considerations include minimizing attention, distribu…
Analyzing Fitts' Law using Offline and Online Optimal Control with Motor Noise
Riley Bridges, Ethan Parham, Jing Shuang Li
The cause of the speed-accuracy tradeoff (typically quantified via Fitts' Law) is a debated topic of interest in motor neuroscience, and is commonly studied using tools from contro…
Human Balancing on a Log: A Switched Multi-Layer Controller
Jiayi Zhao, Mo Yang, Jing Shuang Li
We study the task of balancing a human on a log that is fixed in place. Balancing on a log is substantially more challenging than balancing on a flat surface due to increased insta…
Toward Neuronal Implementations of Delayed Optimal Control
Jing Shuang Li
Animal sensorimotor behavior is frequently modeled using optimal controllers. However, it is unclear how the neural circuits within the animal's nervous system implement optimal co…
