A qualitative model of the control of automated rhythmic movements: coupling between EEG and motor systems.
The aim of this study is to show a model of processing control of automated rhythmic movements. On the basis of different tapping tasks (real movements and ideomotor test situation) a scheme will be shown which describes the process control of different process levels with different feedback possibilities and with the influence of slow rhythms. Furthermore, a mathematical approach for the phenomena occurring during a tapping task in the EEG will be discussed. The model test and the scheme are the first attempts to describe the whole control system of automated rhythmic activity. In this first step the physiological substrate of the scheme elements was intentionally left out.
