Document Summary

Need to know monosynaptic reflex takes about 50ms but that"s about it. Lecture 2: 2 key terms: general anatomy of a neuron. Lecture 3: lab component (lab review of emg) Lecture 4: concept and differentiation between generator potential and action potential. Lecture 5: reaction time, response time, movement time. Good thing to do: make a sheet with the timings of everything in the course. How long does it take not just on emg time, but response time, movement time, etc. Lecture 6: know the concept of speed-accuracy trade-off. Lecture 8: difference between inhibitory vs excitatory reflexes. Principle of invariance and flexible parameters that relate to the generalized motor program. Difference between centre of mass vs centre of pressure. Lecture 11: difference between fixed vs change in support. Eye-movement section: focus on saccades with emphasis on timing (look at the graphs) how long it takes to make a saccadic eye movement.
