This paper proposes an architecture and algorithm of brain motor control based on the internal model control (IMC) incorporating the acquisition of skill explicitly. The meaning of skill is extended from acquisition of internal model, which is a widespread view in computational neuroscience, to acquisition of internal model and prefilter with appropriate bandwidth. This extension is essential in view of the fact that no inverse model exists for usual plants.
