Spontaneous baby movements are important for development of coordinated sensorimotor system - Science X: Phys.org, Medical Xpress, Tech Xplore

Spontaneous, random baby movements aid development of their sensorimotor system, according to new research led by the University of Tokyo. Detailed motion capture of newborns and infants was combined with a musculoskeletal computer model to enable researchers to analyze communication among muscles and sensation across the whole body.
