What does body configuration in microgravity tell us about the contribution of intra- and extrapersonal frames of reference for motor control?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 February 2010
Abstract
The authors report that the reorganization of body configuration during weightlessness is based on an intrapersonal frame of reference such as the configuration of the support surface and the position of the body's center of gravity. These results stress the importance of “knowledge” of the state of internal geometric structures, which cannot be directly signalled by specific receptors responsible for direct dialogue with the physical external world.
