While tremor is an involuntary and rhythmic oscillation, kinesis/) (as described in the study of simple organism movement) refers to non-directional changes in the rate of locomotion in response to a stimulus. A low-intensity vibration might induce a negative orthokinesis (cessation of movement, or freezing) in a sessile invertebrate, which is an act…
