Brain-based skills cause physical action

Atomic skill component: simplified view of the causal chain from neural information to action

Muscle tension is controlled from the brain (from the skill) to rotate joints.

- (Muscle tension is represented in both frequency modulation and labelled line.)



This is how the brain 'talks' to the body to convert a skill like walking to the action of walking?

- When the skill is 'used' or 'executed', appropriate neural messages are sent to the muscles to control the joint angles and the timing.
