Abstract
There is one prominent and striking oscillatory feature in motor control, tremor. Tremor is an inevitable side effect of any muscle activity, although the physiological tremor accompanying any movernent or muscle contraction is usually not perceived. This article will be structured into 3 parts.
-
1.
The discussion of some relevant properties of physiological tremor as it appears in normal subjects.
-
2.
The changes of these characteristics of physiological tremor under pathological conditions, and
-
3.
The relation of these oscillatory phenomena to some major principles in the temporal organization of motor behaviour.
