Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Despite advances in human-machine-interface design, we lack the ability to give people precise and fast control over high degree of freedom (DOF) systems, like robotic limbs. Attempts to improve control often focus on the static map that links user input to device commands; hypothesizing that the user's skill acquisition can be improved by finding an intuitive map. Here we investigate what map features affect skill acquisition.
