Humans perform goal-directed actions such as reaching for a light switch or gras** a
coffee mug thousands of times a day. Behind the scenes of these seemingly simple actions …

Virtual reality (VR) is a promising tool and is increasingly used in many different fields, in
which virtual walking can be generalized through detailed modeling of the physical …

Previous research has demonstrated that humans use allocentric information when reaching
to remembered visual targets, but most of the studies are limited to 2D space. Here, we study …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that humans incorporate allocentric information when
reaching toward visual targets. So far, it is unclear how this information is integrated into the …

The 2-streams model of vision suggests that egocentric and allocentric reference frames are
utilized by the dorsal and the ventral stream for real-time and memory-guided movements …

In the field of spatial coding it is well established that we mentally represent objects for
action not only relative to ourselves, egocentrically, but also relative to other objects …

People usually reach for objects to place them in some position and orientation, but the
placement component of this sequence is often ignored. For example, reaches are …

In this study, we investigated the influence of gaze and prior knowledge about the reach
target on the use of allocentric information for memory-guided reaching. Participants viewed …

When reaching to a visual target, humans need to transform the spatial target representation
into the coordinate system of their moving arm. It has been shown that increased uncertainty …

In previous research, we demonstrated that spatial coding of proprioceptive reach targets
depends on the presence of an effector movement (Mueller & Fiehler, Neuropsychologia …
