Real-world actions require one to simultaneously perceive, think, and act on the surrounding
world, requiring the integration of (bottom-up) sensory information and (top-down) cognitive …

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 …

Introduction: Recent views posit that precise control of the interceptive timing can be
achieved by combining on-line processing of visual information with predictions based on …

Skillful interaction with the world requires that the brain uses a multitude of sensorimotor
programs and subroutines, such as for reaching, gras**, and the coordination of the two …

Perceptual accuracy is known to be influenced by stimuli location within the visual field. In
particular, it seems to be enhanced in the lower visual hemifield (VH) for motion and space …

Abstract Time‐to‐contact (TTC) perception refers to the ability of an observer to estimate the
remaining time before an object reaches a point in the environment, and is of crucial …

The ability to catch objects when transiently occluded from view suggests their motion can
be extrapolated. Intraparietal cortex (IPS) plays a major role in this process along with other …

In ball sports such as table tennis, in which a ball moving at high speed is hit, an athlete's
brain needs to process the motion information of the ball, predict the arrival point, and form a …

Accumulating evidence supports the view that the medial part of the posterior parietal cortex
(mPPC) is involved in the planning of reaching, but while plenty of studies investigated …

Previous studies in the macaque monkey have provided clear causal evidence for an
involvement of the medial-superior-temporal area (MST) in the perception of self-motion …
