- Mainly to Tom B. and Bill P., but anyone can join in.

- What would a PCT model look like for a step tracking task? Would it be the
- same as the model used so successfully for continuous tracking? Would its
- parameters change with the amplitude of the step and/or the speed of the
- step's rise (actually a ramp, in this case)? Maybe Tom could come up with
- an answer after a few quick experiments. I'm interested in the possibility
- of accurately determining the nonlinearities (if there) in the human control
- task -- which the Air Force tracking people have identified. Maybe step
- (ramp) tracking studies would be useful in this regard. One would be looking
- for accurate prediction over only a second or so (but with varying ramp
- rise times and amplitudes and directions (up or down)), especially with
- regard to delay of movement onset, oscillations, overshoot -- should be
- easy for somebody who can predict for One whole minute, right?

- As ever,
