Abstract(in English) From the viewpoint of computational theory,we have proposed dynamic optimization principles for arm trajectory formation.These principles predict that the trajectory in the intrinsic space is invariant for kinematic alteration.We confirmed this prediction by experiments on human reaching movements in an altered kinematic environment.After virtually minifying the elbow angle of the subject and magnifying the shoulder angle,the corresponding hand position was displayed on a CRT screen.The subject was asked to reach targets while observing the current altered hand position on the CRT.Although the hand trajectory projected on the CRT was considerably distorted,the actual hand trajectory was roughly straight as well as those under the normal kinematic condition.
