The Neuromuscular System

The aim of flight simulation is to create an environment for the pilot wherein he or she can perform the piloting task in such a way that the objective of the simulation, training or research, is reached. To simulate the flight environment in a simulator models describing the aircraft dynamic behavior and its systems, the atmosphere, the...

Identification of the Feedback Component of the Neuromuscular System in a Pitch Control Task

This goal of this study is to understand which parts of the the neuromuscular system contribute during a pitch control task. A novel method developed at the Delft University of Technology allows us to determine the contribution of the neuromuscular feedback system by identifying the admittance, which is the frequency response function of the...
