Visuo-motor control: Giving the brain a hand
Sensory information is acquired in spatial coordinate systems linked to sense organs, yet movement must be executed in coordinate systems linked to motor effector organs. Neurophysiological experiments are yielding new insights into how the brain transforms coordinate systems to facilitate movement.
متن کاملVisuo-motor control of the ipsilateral hand: evidence from right brain-damaged patients.
We investigated the extent to which the right hemisphere is involved in the control of the ipsilateral hand by analysing the kinematics of right-hand prehension in right brain-damaged (RBD) patients. We required patients to grasp one of five possible objects, equally-sized and distributed over a 40 degrees wide workspace. With the purpose of investigating the right hemisphere contribution to th...
متن کاملSplinting the hand to enhance motor control and brain plasticity.
Theoretical constructs on the values of splinting the hand are reviewed. Therapists treating poststroke patients face a fast changing technology environment. This new technology allows scientists and physicians the opportunity to evaluate brain function. Scientists can increase understanding of the effects of stroke on function based upon location and severity. Physicians can evaluate the effec...
متن کاملThree-dimensional visuo-motor control of saccades.
Although the motion of the line of sight is a straightforward consequence of a particular rotation of the eye, it is much trickier to predict the rotation underlying a particular motion of the line of sight in accordance with Listing's law. Helmholtz's notion of the direction-circle together with the notion of primary and secondary reference directions in visual space provide an elegant solutio...
متن کاملGiving the Head a Hand:
This work contributes to the major promise of computational technology for learning in making discovery and acquisition of knowledge accessible in new ways and to a wider range of people. The particular focus here is on learning about ideas in Balance Control through observing one’s own body motions and programming physical robots to perform balancing acts, such as balancing an inverted pendulu...
