No dissociation between perception and action in patient DF when haptic feedback is withdrawn

T Schenk - Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 - Soc Neuroscience

DF, a human patient who had damage to her ventral visual stream and suffered from visual …

Response to Milner et al.: Grasping uses vision and haptic feedback

T Schenk - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2012 - cell.com
Milner, Ganel and Goodale's (MGG) critique rests on the conjecture that object width is the
only visual cue that determines grip size. I argue that, if other sensory cues are taken into …

Does grasping in patient DF depend on vision?

AD Milner, T Ganel, MA Goodale - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2012 - cell.com
A recently published study of grasping in patient DF challenges the well-known dissociation
between vision-for-perception and vision-for-action, suggesting instead that DF's preserved …

Grasping what is graspable: evidence from visual form agnosia

RD McIntosh, HC Dijkerman, M Mon-Williams… - Cortex, 2004 - Elsevier
