Abstract

Detection of Stretching And Folding (SAF) traits in a time series is still controversial and of great interest. Also, visuo-manual tracking studies did not pay attention to SAF in hand motion trajectories. This research aims to find out the relevance of SAF to the discontinuities in chaotic dynamics of hand motion through target tracking tasks. Specifically, a new method is constructed based on this relation in which SAF can extract accurately trajectories in both time domain and phase space. Consequently, we designed experiments to track sinusoidal and trapezoidal target movements shown on a monitor. In these experiments, fourteen participants were instructed to move the joystick handle by wrist flexion-extension movements. Results confirm intermittency in significant human motor control behavior which results in discontinuities in hand motion trajectories. The relation between SAF and these discontinuities is realized by chaotic and intermittent behaviors of tracking dynamics. Verification of the method’s accuracy is also carried out by taking advantage of the Poincaré section. Our method can provide insight into the dynamical behaviors of chaotic and intermittent systems involving mechanisms in human motor control. It can be applied to general systems with intermittent behavior and other systems with modification.
