21. Roberto Merletti, Politecnico di Torino: The surface EMG as a
source of information on motor control
22. Edward A. Clancy, Worcester Polytechnic Institute: Estimation of
Joint Torque and Impedance by Means of Surface EMG
23. Andrea D'Avella, IRCCS Fondazione Santa Lucia: Strategies for the
neural control of arm movements revealed by the spatiotemporal
organization of muscle patterns
Symposium 8: Stability and Variability
24. Gregor Schöner, Ruhr-Universität-Bochum: Understanding the
structure of stability: theory of the uncontrolled manifold
