Abstract
⺠We describe a new musculoskeletal computer model of a primate (Macaque) skull. ⺠It predicts bite force, TMJ forces and muscle recruitment patterns during biting. ⺠The results compare very well with experimental in vivo EMG and bite force data. ⺠They reveal the complexity of muscle recruitment even during simple biting.
