Schnell & McEwen

Schnell & McEwen developed a framework called the “Biocybernetic Tron” that explains how the brain and nervous system regulate physical activity and energy use. They focus on understanding how the body maintains balance—like controlling body temperature or exercising—by integrating signals from the brain, nerves, and muscles. Their work highlights the complex feedback loops that keep us functioning efficiently during physical tasks, emphasizing the importance of both neural and physiological factors in controlling activity and maintaining homeostasis. This helps researchers better understand how the body adapts to different physical demands and stresses.
