Q

Walker that uses G to supply E, achieving H-L G with Pass Mech

What is a passive dynamic walker?

A

A walker that uses gravity to supply energy, achieving human-like gait with passive mechanisms.

17
Q

Braintsem R taht initiaties Loco and Det Sp

What is the Mesencephalic Locomotor Region (MLR)?

A

A brainstem region that initiates locomotion and determines speed

18
Q

Spinal N network that produces Loco MA patterns without Sens F

What is a Central Pattern Generator (CPG)?

A

A spinal neural network that produces locomotor muscle activation patterns without sensory feedback

19
Q

By Sens F, such as Pro Inf from HF

How can CPG be modulated?

A

By sensory feedback, such as proprioceptive information from hip flexors.

20
Q

Sacc and Res of eye Posduring VOR & OKR

What are the types of fast eye movements?

A

Saccades and resetting of eye position during VOR & OKR

21
Q

VOR, OKR, Sm Pur & Ver

What are the types of slow eye movements?

A

Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), optokinetic reflex (OKR), smooth pursuit, and vergence.

22
Q

Bring POI onto Fov

What is the function of saccades?

A

To bring the area of interest onto the fovea

23
Q

Reflex that R the eyes to Comp for H M, stabilizing the Vis Im

What is the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR)?

A

A reflex that rotates the eyes to compensate for head movement, stabilizing the visual image

24
Q

Vis driven Ref that stabilizes the Vis Im during slow M

What is the optokinetic reflex (OKR)?

A

A visually driven reflex that stabilizes the visual image during slow movements

25
Q

Tra of a moving Ob with the E

What is smooth pursuit?

A

The ability to track a moving object with the eyes

26
Q

Ability to D both E toward the same P

What is vergence?

A

The ability to direct both eyes toward the same point

27
Q

To prolong Ga Stab during Cont Rot

What is the purpose of the velocity storage mechanism?

A

To prolong gaze stabilization during continuous rotation

28
Q

Tunes G of sacc E M

What is the role of the cerebellum in saccades?

A

It tunes the gain of saccadic eye movements

29
Q

Scl C, Inf Ref, EOG, VOG

What are the methods of eye tracking?

A

Scleral coil, infrared reflectance, electro-oculography (EOG), and video-oculography (VOG)

30
Q

Make P Sacc to expected B P of the ball

How do batsmen use eye movements in cricket?

A

They make predictive saccades to the expected bounce point of the ball

31
Q

Vis Res is modified by Ex and Pri Ex

What is the effect of predictability on visual response?

A

Visual response is modified by expectation and prior experience
