Can you do this? Extremely difficult interbodypart coordination tasks and implications for central limitations on control of coordination.
We have recently noticed our own inability to perform a number of interbodypart coordination tasks. The inability to perform these tasks indicates an intriguing central processing limitation on movement control, and study of these tasks should be helpful in understanding the neural mechanisms of motor control.
