- Bizzi, Morasso & Polit (1978) (J. Neurophys.) does seem to contain a fair
- amount of quantitative data, tho I don't really know if it's enough.
- Pretty gruesome in places, tho.
-
- On a more pleasant note, I've been working up a collection of tools to
- do simple simulations of goings on in single joints in C (PC only, at
- this point), & have:
-
- a) easy reading of parameter files
-
- b) sensible coordinate systems for graphics displays (origin where you
- want it, aspect ratio compensated for, arbitrary scaling of
- distance units to pixels, positive y = up).
-
- c) a methodology where the basic control system simulation can
- be done by boilerplate C function calls.
-
- So far all I've done with it is a damped spring in a gravitational
- field, & presumably NSCK 4 will be much better when it's ready, but
- meanwhile, anyone who'se impatient to do some C hacking is welcome to
- have what I've got so far.
