Abstract

In contrast with certain other areas of neurophysiology, modelling and simulation techniques appear to have failed to make significant contributions to research on the muscle spindle. In this paper an attempt is made to identify possible reasons for the failure of these methods. Suggestions are also made, with illustrative examples, of ways in which experimentation and modelling could be more closely integrated to the advantage of all involved in muscle spindle research.
