In his Ferrier Lecture 2021, Professor Daniel Wolpert explores the amazing processes by which the brain controls the body.
The effortless ease with which we move our arms, our eyes, even our lips when we speak masks the true complexity of the control processes involved. This is evident when we try to build machines to perform human control tasks. What sets us apart is our ability to learn new motor skills. Daniel Wolpert’s group has studied the computations involved in human motor learning and described the incredible computations our brains perform that allow us to acquire our extensive motor repertoire.
