Movements of the eyes assist vision and support hand and body movements in a
cooperative way. Despite their strong functional coupling, different types of movements are …

Smooth pursuit eye movements maintain the line of sight on smoothly moving targets.
Although often studied as a response to sensory motion, pursuit anticipates changes in …

Prediction allows humans and other animals to prepare for future interactions with their
environment. This is important in our dynamically changing world that requires fast and …

There is a growing interest in sex differences in human and animal cognition. However,
empirical evidences supporting behavioral and neural sex differences in humans remain …

The ability to visually track, using smooth pursuit eye movements, moving objects is critical
in both perceptual and action tasks. Here, by asking participants to view a moving target or …

Skilled motor behavior relies on the ability to control the body and to predict the sensory
consequences of this control. Although there is ample evidence that manual dexterity …

When stopping a closing door or catching an object, humans process the motion of inertial
objects and apply reactive limb force over short period to interact with them. One way in …

When predictive information about target motion is available, anticipatory smooth pursuit eye
movements (aSPEM) are consistently generated before target appearance, thereby …

Robotic literature widely addresses deformable object manipulation, but few studies
analyzed human manipulation accounting for different levels of deformability and task …

Current theories suggest that the ability to control the body and to predict its associated
sensory consequences is key for skilled motor behavior. It is also suggested that these …
