Abstract
Simultaneous movements of the two arms constitute a relatively simple example of complex movements and may serve to test whether and how the brain generates unique representations of complex movements from their constituent elements, as suggested by Leyton and Sherrington: “[T]he motor cortex may be regarded as a synthetic organ for compounding movements from fractional movements.”.
