Using Tools as Cues for Motor Adaptation in Virtual Reality Open
Humans are adept at using multiple tools, often switching between them even when each involves distinct and potentially conflicting motor demands. This study investigated how different features of a tool influence the formation of distinct…

Using tools as cues for dual adaptation to opposing visuomotor rotations in virtual reality Open
Humans are experts at designing and utilizing unique tools to accomplish various tasks, like wielding an axe to chop wood. Humans are also capable of using different tools to accomplish opposing motor tasks simultaneously (using a fork and…

Adaptation to Pong bounce perturbations is quick and independent from wall tilt Open
The human motor system can adapt to unexpected perturbations during ongoing movements. Except for target jump studies, most of the research focused on adaptation to perturbations applied to the hand, such as force field or visuomotor rotat…

Rapid motor adaptation to bounce perturbations in online Pong game is independent from the visual tilt of the bouncing surface Open
Motor adaptation describes the ability of the motor system to counteract repeated perturbations in order to reduce movement errors. Most research in the field investigated adaptation in response to perturbations affecting the moving hand. …

Increased visual and cognitive demands emphasize the importance of meeting visual needs at all distances while driving Open
Having an optimal quality of vision as well as adequate cognitive capacities is known to be essential for driving safety. However, the interaction between vision and cognitive mechanisms while driving remains unclear. We hypothesized that,…

Movement drift in optic ataxia reveals deficits in hand state estimation in oculocentric coordinates. Open
When vision is removed, limb position has been shown to progressively drift during repetitive arm movements. The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is known to be involved in the processing of multisensory information, the formation of intern…

Eye-head coordination and dynamic visual scanning as indicators of visuo-cognitive demands in driving simulator Open
Driving is an everyday task involving a complex interaction between visual and cognitive processes. As such, an increase in the cognitive and/or visual demands can lead to a mental overload which can be detrimental for driving safety. Comp…

Spatial and temporal dynamics of presaccadic attentional facilitation before pro- and antisaccades Open
The premotor theory of attention and the visual attention model make different predictions about the temporal and spatial allocation of presaccadic attentional facilitation. The current experiment investigated the spatial and temporal dyna…

Vibrotactile information improves proprioceptive reaching target localization Open
When pointing to parts of our own body (e.g., the opposite index finger), the position of the target is derived from proprioceptive signals. Consistent with the principles of multisensory integration, it has been found that participants be…

Multisensory integration for pointing movements in healthy subjects and patients with optic ataxia Open
Afin d’effectuer un mouvement de la main, le système nerveux doit mettre en commun des informations issues de plusieurs sens : c’est l’intégration multisensorielle. Le cortex pariétal postérieur est une interface sensorimotrice qui est imp…

Learned rather than online relative weighting of visual-proprioceptive sensory cues Open
When reaching to an object, information about the target location as well as the initial hand position is required to program the motor plan for the arm. The initial hand position can be determined by proprioceptive information as well as …

Temporal dynamics of attention before anti-saccades Open
Previous studies have shown that attention shifts to the saccade goal before movement onset (e.g. Deubel et al., 2008), with a peak approximately 50 ms before saccade onset. The current experiment investigated the timing and dynamics of th…
