During object manipulation tasks, the brain selects and implements action-phase controllers
that use sensory predictions and afferent signals to tailor motor output to the physical …

While vision and proprioception can both provide information about arm configuration prior
to movement, substantial evidence suggests that each modality is used for different stages of …

Recently our group forwarded a model of speed-accuracy relations in goal-directed
reaching. A fundamental feature of our multiple process model was the distinction between …

The motor system responds to perturbations with reflexes, such as the vestibulo-ocular reflex
or stretch reflex, whose gains adapt in response to novel and fixed changes in the …

At an early stage of learning novel dynamics, changes in muscle activity are mainly due to
corrective feedback responses. These feedback contributions to the overall motor command …

The continuously changing properties of our environment require constant monitoring of our
actions and updating of our motor commands based on the task goals. Such updating relies …

Following the princeps investigations of Marc Jeannerod on action–perception, specifically,
goal-directed movement, this review article addresses visual and non-visual processes …

Background When learning to perform a novel sensorimotor task, humans integrate multi-
modal sensory feedback such as vision and proprioception in order to make the appropriate …

A high-precision manipulation task, such as needle threading, is challenging. Physiological
studies have proposed connecting low-resolution peripheral vision and fast movement to …

We investigated the possibility of controlling reaching movements on the sole basis of
central mechanisms, ie, without peripheral feedback on hand and target positions. A …
