Definition

  • Introduction Voluntary movements are the only means by which the human mind can communicate with the outside world and other minds. Be it speech, facial expression, manipulation of objects, gesturing or simply pressing a button – the mind cannot manifest itself otherwise than by directing movements of the body.
