Abstract
Motor cortical activity relates to static motor parameters (isometric force , limb position) under static conditions brat predominantly to dynamic para meters (change of force, limb velocity) under dynamic conditions. This dual relation conceptually unifies the role of motor cortex in the control of i sometric force and movement.
