ABSTRACT
The emphasis on stability and coupling, on physiological process thinking, and integration in Bernstein’s writing resonate with contemporary theoretical currents of thinking in motor control. His refined analysis of movement behavior uncovers dimension of movement generation that many current accounts fail to appreciate. I go through my own research program of developing a theoretical framework to understand the neural processes of movement generation and their integration to discuss the astonishing alignment with Bernstein’s “construction of movement” and point to the many questions that remain open even today, 70 years after Bernstein’s book was published.
