Abstract:
Sensorimotor control regulates balance and stability
as well as adaptation to the external environment. We
introduce the use of a simulated inverted pendulum to study
human sensorimotor control, demonstrating that this system
introduces similar control challenges to human subjects as a
physical inverted pendulum. Participants exhibited longer
stabilization of the system as length increased while the
required control input varied in a non-monotonic, yet
predictable manner. Finally, we show that the experimental
results can be modelled as a PD controller with a time delay of
τ = 140 ms, matching the human visuomotor delay. Our results
provide evidence of the importance of vision in a control of
unstable systems and serve as a proof of concept of a simulated
inverted pendulum.
