neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence. The progress that has
been made in modeling and analyzing movement is contributing to both the
understanding of human movement and the development of new applications. In
particular, the availability of low cost and pervasive devices for recording movements
(wearable devices, smartphones, tablets, cameras, etc.), together with machine
learning methods for the quantitative and automatic analysis of movement, has
put forward the development of systems for user authentication, medical
diagnosis, and rehabilitation monitoring. A leading example is the use of
artificial intelligence methods for the analysis of complex movements such as
handwriting and gait, which is improving our knowledge of the mechanisms
underlying human movement and, at the same time, enriching the fields of
e-health and e-security with new applications. Another successful example is
the design of control systems for prosthetic devices that exploit knowledge
about movement execution and artificial intelligence methods.</span></p>
