The scope of this mini review is to show as neuromotor control often applies mathematical principles and properties improving efficiency of movements. We reported four examples: harmony of human walking is based on the fractal property of self-similarity because based on the golden ratio, anatomy of human hand follows Fibonacci’s sequence for optimizing grasping, the 2/3 power-law at which curvilinear movements obey, and the possibility of brain to predict the movement of falling objects applying an implicit knowledge of the Newton’s gravitational law

Abstract

The scope of this mini review is to show as neuromotor control often applies mathematical principles and properties improving efficiency of movements. We reported four examples: harmony of human walking is based on the fractal property of self-similarity because based on the golden ratio, anatomy of human hand follows Fibonacci’s sequence for optimizing grasping, the 2/3 power-law at which curvilinear movements obey, and the possibility of brain to predict the movement of falling objects applying an implicit knowledge of the Newton’s gravitational law
