Abstract [eng] In this research information theory concepts are used to determinate discreet and continuous eye and hand of the human movements control systems. In this research target jumping from one position to another (discreet tracking experiment) or slow target movement trajectory (continuous tracking experiment) on the screen is defined as input or source information, eye or hand response trajectory on the screen – as output information and difference between them – as lost information. Information amount transferred over eye or hand sensorimotor channels us defined as difference between input and lost information rates. Channel information capacity of the eye or hand sensorimotor system is defined as maximum transferred information over sensorimotor channel during unit of time. Experimental investigation let us formulate that largest channel information capacity of the discreet tracking eye movements is 4,9 bits/sec, when intersaccadic interval is 0,3 sec. Largest channel information capacity of the discreet tracking hand is 6,5 bits/sec, when intersaccadic interval is 0,25 sec. During human’s eye and hand tracking responses to the continuously moving target, eye and hand sensorimotor control systems have largest channel capacities 7,9 bits/sec and 6,5 bits/sec respectively, when target movement largest velocity 30 deg/sec.
