TL;DR: This work investigates coordination of the right arm in a task requiring a sudden yet precisely controlled reversal of movement direction: bow reversals during continuous tone production on a stringed instrument, and suggests that this coordination pattern allows generating high accelerations at the end effector while reducing the required joint torques at the proximal joints.

TL;DR: A detailed and extensively verified case study of a physician, Bettina Peyton, who experienced an NDE during the birth of her third child when she was 32 years old, provides additional evidence that supports the hypotheses that during NDEs individuals have sensory perceptual experiences not possible according to the materialist framework.

TL;DR: It is shown here that discontinuities in development of movement in these systems are dependent not only on age but also vary according to task constraints, which reflects the complexity of changing task requirements as children transition from simpler ballistic control of all systems to flexible, independent but coordinated control of multiple systems.

TL;DR: The chapter presents research data from a number of laboratories that document the gradual development of posture control in the cephalocaudal direction, and experiments on the transition to independent stance indicate that stance balance control develops gradually.
