Many motor skills require rapidly choosing a movement goal and preparing to that goal, such as in sports where circumstances often change quickly many actions are possible. Humans can benefit from learning the perceptual cues predict requirements of so choice preparation occur earlier. However, there remains uncertainty about how these learned. Here we investigate use perceptual-motor associati...

When we observe the actions performed by others, our motor system "resonates" along with that of the observed agent. Is a similar visuomotor resonant response observed in autism spectrum disorders (ASD)? Studies investigating action observation in ASD have yielded inconsistent findings. In this perspective article we examine behavioral and neuroscientific evidence in favor of visuomotor resonan...

The visuomotor transformations for producing a grasping movement imply simultaneous control of di€erent visual mechanisms. The size, orientation and 3D characteristics of the object have to be encoded for the selection of the appropriate opposition space, within which the opposition forces will be applied on the object surface. These mechanisms also have to combine with those of the transport o...
