Mouse tracking as a window into decision making

M Maldonado, E Dunbar, E Chemla - Behavior research methods, 2019 - Springer
Mouse tracking promises to be an efficient method to investigate the dynamics of cognitive
processes: It is easier to deploy than eyetracking, yet in principle it is much more fine …

Grasping intentions: from thought experiments to empirical evidence

C Becchio, V Manera, L Sartori, A Cavallo… - Frontiers in human …, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Skepticism has been expressed concerning the possibility to understand others' intentions
by simply observing their movements: since a number of different intentions may have …

MouseTracker: Software for studying real-time mental processing using a computer mouse-tracking method

JB Freeman, N Ambady - Behavior research methods, 2010 - Springer
In the present article, we present a software package, MouseTracker, that allows
researchers to use a computer mouse-tracking method for assessing real-time processing in …

Awareness of voluntary action, rather than body ownership, improves motor control

K Matsumiya - Scientific reports, 2021 - nature.com
Awareness of the body is essential for accurate motor control. However, how this awareness
influences motor control is poorly understood. The awareness of the body includes …

Brain function overlaps when people observe emblems, speech, and grasping

M Andric, A Solodkin, G Buccino, S Goldin-Meadow… - Neuropsychologia, 2013 - Elsevier
A hand grasping a cup or gesturing “thumbs-up”, while both manual actions, have different
purposes and effects. Grasping directly affects the cup, whereas gesturing “thumbs-up” has …

Cues to intention: the role of movement information

L Sartori, C Becchio, U Castiello - Cognition, 2011 - Elsevier
Body movement provides a rich source of cues about other people's goals and intentions. In
the present research, we investigate how well people can distinguish between different …

Perceptual decisions are biased by the cost to act

N Hagura, P Haggard, J Diedrichsen - Elife, 2017 - elifesciences.org
Perceptual decisions are classically thought to depend mainly on the stimulus
characteristics, probability and associated reward. However, in many cases, the motor …

Mind wandering and motor control: off-task thinking disrupts the online adjustment of behavior

JWY Kam, E Dao, P Blinn, OE Krigolson… - Frontiers in human …, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Mind wandering episodes have been construed as periods of “stimulus-independent”
thought, where our minds are decoupled from the external sensory environment. In two …

Action sharpens sensory representations of expected outcomes

D Yon, SJ Gilbert, FP de Lange, C Press - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
When we produce actions we predict their likely consequences. Dominant models of action
control suggest that these predictions are used to 'cancel'perceptual processing of expected …

Using gaze behavior to parcellate the explicit and implicit contributions to visuomotor learning

AJ de Brouwer, M Albaghdadi… - Journal of …, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
Successful motor performance relies on our ability to adapt to changes in the environment
by learning novel mappings between motor commands and sensory outcomes. Such …
