TITLE:
Black Swan vs. Lionel Messi: Measuring the Information Capacity of the
Human Motor System with an Extended Framework
ABSTRACT:
Fitts’ law is a fundamental tool in understanding the capacity of the
human motor system. It measures information throughput in terms of the
tradeoff between the speed and accuracy of motor responses. Although
immensely popular, the paradigm in which Fitts’ law is the principal
keystone is confined to relatively simple responses in strictly
prescribed stimulus response conditions. Our goal is to generalize the
framework into completely unconstrained movement. The proposed new
metric is based on a subject’s ability to accurately reproduce a
learned movement pattern. It can accommodate recorded movement of any
duration and composition, and involving contributions of any part of
the body. We demonstrate the proposed method by analyzing publicly
available motion capture data. Possible applications include
human-computer interaction, sports science, and clinical diagnosis.
Welcome!
