Grasping with tools: corticospinal excitability reflects observed hand movements.
Although facilitation of the corticospinal system during action observation is widely accepted, it remains controversial whether this facilitation reflects a replica of the observed movements or the goal of the observed motor acts. In the present study, we asked whether, when an object is grasped by using a tool, corticospinal facilitation represents 1) the movements of the hand, 2) the movemen...
متن کاملSaccadic updating of object orientation for grasping movements
Reach and grasp movements are a fundamental part of our daily interactions with the environment. This spatially-guided behavior is often directed to memorized objects because of intervening eye movements that caused them to disappear from sight. How does the brain store and maintain the spatial representations of objects for future reach and grasp movements? We had subjects (n=8) make reach and...
متن کاملHand Movements
The human hand and the brain are close partners in two important and closely interconnected functions: exploration of the physical world and reshaping of parts of this world through manipulation. The highly versatile functions of the human hand depend on both its anatomical structure and the neural machinery that supports the hand. This article focuses on the sensorimotor control of hand moveme...
متن کاملSensorimotor transformations during grasping movements
Sensorimotor transformations’ are processes whereby sensory information is used to generate motor commands. One example is the ‘visuomotor map’ that transforms visual information about objects to motor commands that activates various muscles during grasping movements. In the first study we quantified the relative impact (or ‘weighting’) of visual and haptic information on the sensorimotor trans...
متن کاملControl of rapid aimed hand movements: the one-target advantage.
A series of 8 experiments examined the phenomenon that a rapid aimed hand movement is executed faster when it is performed as a single, isolated movement than when it is followed by a second movement (the 1-target advantage). Three new accounts of this effect are proposed and tested: the eye movement hypothesis, the target uncertainty hypothesis, and the movement integration hypothesis. Data ar...
