Spontaneous baby movements are important for development of coordinated sensorimotor system PNASNews
interaction developing based on the babies' random exploratory behavior that would later enable them to perform sequential movements as infants. Better understanding how our sensorimotor system develops could help us gain insight into the origin of human movement as well as earlier diagnoses of developmental disorders.
Data from the motion capture was combined with the musculoskeletal computer simulation, which enabled the team to understand the flow of information along muscles and the babies’ perception of their movement.

By combining a musculoskeletal model and neuroscientific method, we found that spontaneous movements, which seem to have no explicit task or purpose, contribute to coordinated sensorimotor development."
