One of the brain’s primary functions is movement. Although many of our day-to-day movements appear ‘simple’, they are in fact incredibly complex. For example, when grasping a cup of coffee our brain must identify where the cup is, specify the muscle commands required to move the limb, and produce an appropriate amount of force to ensure a stable grasp. All of this is generally performed without our conscious awareness, as demonstrated by the numerous times we have grasped an object while focusing attention on the television or a newspaper article.

大脑的主要功能之一是运动。虽然我们的许多日常活动看起来“简单”，但实际上它们非常复杂。例如，当我们拿一杯咖啡时，我们的大脑必须确定杯子在哪里，指定移动肢体所需的肌肉命令，并产生适当的力量来确保稳定的抓握。所有这一切通常都是在我们没有意识的情况下进行的，正如我们无数次抓住一个物体，同时将注意力集中在电视或报纸文章上所证明的那样。
