Ball, Helton, and Walker (BHW) derived the nonlinear dissipative controller formulas with the assumption implying that no stable mode uncontrollable from the exogenous input. The assumption is more restrictive than that considered in DGKF. In this paper, we address the numerical difficulty encountered by BHW’s controller formulas when the assumption is not satisfied. Next, we propose a modified nonlinear dissipative controller and successfully remove the numerical difficulty. We also show that the linear version of the proposed controller formulas is identical to the DGKF H∞ controller. An example is given to demonstrate constructing the proposed controller and simulating the closed-loop pulse responses.

For the effective use of modern tools, the inherent visuo-motor transformation needs to be mastered. The successful adjustment to and learning of these transformations crucially depends on practice conditions, particularly on the type of visual feedback during practice. Here, a review about empirical research exploring the influence of continuous and terminal visual feedback during practice on the mastery of visuo-motor transformations is provided. Two studies investigating the impact of the type of visual feedback on either direction-dependent visuo-motor gains or the complex visuo-motor transformation of a virtual two-sided lever are presented in more detail. The findings of these studies indicate that the continuous availability of visual feedback supports performance when closed-loop control is possible, but impairs performance when visual input is no longer available. Different approaches to explain these performance differences due to the type of visual feedback during practice are considered. For example, these differences could reflect a process of re-optimization of motor planning in a novel environment or represent effects of the specificity of practice. Furthermore, differences in the allocation of attention during movements with terminal and continuous visual feedback could account for the observed differences.
