Movement time planning in human movement with via-points.
In previous research, even though various models that reproduce movement trajectory have already been proposed, a movement time planning criterion has never been proposed. However, a possible computational model that can estimate via-point time in complex trajectories has been proposed that suggests that the via-point time average of the integration of the square of the smoothness of the motor commands between each via-point is equal. In this report, we measured three kinds of via-point reaching movements and then performed statistical tests to investigate the computational theory. Results suggest that their computational theory is valid.
