Traditionally, research on vision focused on its role in perception and our cognitive life. Except for the study of eye movements, which have been regarded as an information …
Picking up a cup requires transporting the arm to the cup (transport component) and preshaping the hand appropriately to grasp the handle (grip component). Here, we used …

Prehension, the capacity to reach and grasp, is the key behavior that allows humans to change their environment. It continues to serve as a remarkable experimental test case for …
Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) plays an important role in the planning and control of goal- directed action. Single-unit studies in monkeys have identified reach-specific areas in the …
We are delighted to see the impressive range of empirical and theoretical research that has been inspired directly or indirectly by our Two Visual Systems (TVS) model. The utility of a …

Prehension, the capacity to reach and grasp objects, comprises two main components: reaching, ie, moving the hand towards an object, and grasping, ie, shaping the hand with …
Although the neural underpinnings of visually guided grasping and reaching have been well delineated within lateral and medial fronto-parietal networks (respectively), the contributions …
Reach-to-grasp actions require coordination of different segments of the upper limbs. Previous studies have examined the neural substrates of arm transport and hand grip …

The Dual Visuomotor Channel Theory proposes that manual prehension consists of two temporally integrated movements, each subserved by distinct visuomotor pathways in …
