Brain Activity and Movement Cognition - Vibratory Stimulation-Induced Illusions of Movements
Shu Morioka · InTech eBooks · 2012
Feedback information on movement from the musculoskeletal system plays an important role in appropriate control of movement as well as acquisition of new movements. Especially, information on limb movement and location of the movement conveyed from the musculoskeletal system to the brain is assumed to play an essential role in the creation of a body image in the brain. When human limbs actually move, multiple pieces of sensory information are input into the brain by the skin, muscles, joints, etc. Information from muscle spindles has been demonstrated to be most important for cognition of limb movement.1,2)
