Multi-model approach to characterize human handwriting motion.

abstract：:This study is concerned with synaptic reorganization in local neuronal networks. Within networks of 30 neurons, an initial disequilibrium in connectivity has to be compensated by reorganization of synapses. Such plasticity is not a genetically determined process, but depends on results of neuronal interaction. Neurobi...
