Question

Wolpert explains that his group tried to reverse engineer how humans control movement. What makes this difficult, and what is the example he used to demonstrate the concept​

Answer 1

It's difficult because the sensory feedback corrupts the signal. The example he uses is when using a radio.

Transcript:

" The trouble is these signals are not the beautiful signals you want them to be. So one thing that makes controlling movement difficult is, for example, sensory feedback is extremely noisy.  Now by noise, I do not mean sound. We use it in the engineering and neuroscience sense meaning a random noise corrupting a signal. So the old days before digital radio when you were tuning in your radio and you heard "crrcckkk" on the station you wanted to hear, that was the noise. But more generally, this noise is something that corrupts the signal. "
