Control of human gait stability through foot placement

SM Bruijn, JH Van Dieën - Journal of The Royal Society …, 2018 - royalsocietypublishing.org
During human walking, the centre of mass (CoM) is outside the base of support for most of
the time, which poses a challenge to stabilizing the gait pattern. Nevertheless, most of us are …

On the other hand: dummy hands and peripersonal space

TR Makin, NP Holmes, HH Ehrsson - Behavioural brain research, 2008 - Elsevier
Where are my hands? The brain can answer this question using sensory information arising
from vision, proprioception, or touch. Other sources of information about the position of our …

Motor learning is optimally tuned to the properties of motor noise

RJ van Beers - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
In motor learning, our brain uses movement errors to adjust planning of future movements.
This process has traditionally been studied by examining how motor planning is adjusted in …

Probabilistic models in human sensorimotor control

DM Wolpert - Human movement science, 2007 - Elsevier
Sensory and motor uncertainty form a fundamental constraint on human sensorimotor
control. Bayesian decision theory (BDT) has emerged as a unifying framework to understand …

Sensory recalibration of hand position following visuomotor adaptation

EK Cressman, DYP Henriques - Journal of …, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
Goal-directed reaches are rapidly adapted following exposure to misaligned visual feedback
of the hand. It has been suggested that these changes in reaches result in sensory …

Modality-specific attention attenuates visual-tactile integration and recalibration effects by reducing prior expectations of a common source for vision and touch

S Badde, KT Navarro, MS Landy - Cognition, 2020 - Elsevier
At any moment in time, streams of information reach the brain through the different senses.
Given this wealth of noisy information, it is essential that we select information of relevance …

A synthesis of the many errors and learning processes of visuomotor adaptation

JR Morehead, JJ Orban de **vry - BioRxiv, 2021 - biorxiv.org
Visuomotor adaptation has one of the oldest experimental histories in psychology and
neuroscience, yet its precise nature has always been a topic of debate. Here we offer a …

Using time to investigate space: a review of tactile temporal order judgments as a window onto spatial processing in touch

T Heed, E Azañón - Frontiers in psychology, 2014 - frontiersin.org
To respond to a touch, it is often necessary to localize it in space, and not just on the skin.
The computation of this external spatial location involves the integration of somatosensation …

Visuomotor adaptation and proprioceptive recalibration

DYP Henriques, EK Cressman - Journal of motor behavior, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
Motor learning, in particular motor adaptation, is driven by information from multiple senses.
For example, when arm control is faulty, vision, touch, and proprioception can all report on …

Continuously updating one's predictions underlies successful interception

E Brenner, JBJ Smeets - Journal of neurophysiology, 2018 - journals.physiology.org
This paper reviews our understanding of the interception of moving objects. Interception is a
demanding task that requires both spatial and temporal precision. The required precision …
