What Juggling Is Teaching Scientists About Running
A new study in the Journal of Neurophysiology shows that touch sensation, also known as haptic feedback, plays an important role in maintaining the rhythm that is integral to juggling.
Juggling study leads to new revelations about human movement
esearchers at the Johns Hopkins University are using juggling to study how touch, or haptic, feedback influences movement, and they’ve found that such feedback can help humans make fewer movement errors
Hopkins researchers look to juggling to gain insight into how we move
Juggling may sound like mere entertainment, but a study led by Johns Hopkins engineers has used this circus skill to gather critical clues about how vision and the sense of touch help control the way humans and animals move their limbs in a repetitive way, such as in running.
