| Research Abstract |
A challenge of this study was to develop theoretical and experimental bases for elucidating a neural control strategy acquired by a monkey (Macaca fuscata) during quiet upright stance. In particular, based the ``intermittent control hypothesis during human standing” that we recently proposed, we hypothesize that a neural control strategy acquired by the monkey through motor learning is consistent with the intermittent control. Thought this project, we successfully established the firm bases required for examining the hypothesis.
