Published in: Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, Volume 24, Issue 6, December 2017, 1676-1685 Abstract “Human locomotion has been well described but is still not well understood. This is largely true because the observable aspects of locomotion—neuromuscular activity that generates forces and motions—relate to both the task solution and the problem being solved. Identifying the fundamental
