Topic: stick-balancing

Primate neurophysiology has provided numerous insights into the neural mechanisms of short and stereotypical movements, such as center-out reaching, which are mainly guided by feedforward control. However, to understand highly interactive and feedback-driven behaviors, experimental paradigms are needed that involve continuous interactions with the world. One example of such paradigms is stick-balancing which requires constant integration of feedback for successful control. Recently, a simplified virtual implementation of the stick-balancing task was developed as the Critical Stability Task (CS
