We live in a three-dimensional world, and we are aware of                  it.  The perception of the visual space that surrounds us as                    three-dimensional is the product of complicated                                 neurophysiological processes but the three-dimensionality of                    movements and forces generated by the arm is given, due to the                  multi-articulated construction of the skeleton and the multiple                 muscles attached to it.  The question is then, how well does the                3-D visual map correspond to the 3-D motor map?  How well can we                match directions defined in 3-D visual space with directions of                 movements and forces operating in the same space?  How well can                 we control our force vectors in 3-D space and in time, e.g. when                we track a moving target?  How successfully can we intercept that               moving target?  These and other questions are being studied                     quantitatively by Dr. Apostolos Georgopoulos and his team of                    scientists.  Studies will be carried out using human arm                        movements.  The visual instruction for the generation of 3-D                    force vectors will be presented in the form of a vivid                          stereoscopic image, and the 3-D force output of the arm will be                 monitored using a 3-D isometric manipulandum.  The results will                 be analyzed using statistical techniques for 3-D data and an                    information-theoretical analysis.                                                    //
