Affordance is a property of object with respect to the observer, which is related to the
attributes of the object. In the present study, we examined whether affordance elicitation is …

This study investigated the structure of sensorimotor representations during goal-directed
grasping actions and explored their relationship with object features. Sixteen 3D-printed …

Humans explore to learn the structure of our environment. However, it remains unclear how
consistent humans are in the exploration strategies we use and how often we explore across …

It's been repeatedly shown that pictures of graspable objects can facilitate visual processing,

Traditional models of vision highlight the existence of two neural pathways: the dorsal
pathway, subserving vision for action, and the ventral stream for vision for perception. While …

Manual responses are often facilitated when the handle direction of a tool is aligned with the
response hand in two-choice reaction-time tasks. This effect is discussed in terms of …

When humans are faced with multiple options, they must decide whether to choose a novel
or less certain option (explore) or stick with what they know (exploit). Exploration is a …
