The hand grasps the centre, while the eyes saccade to the top of novel objects

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
In the present study, we investigated whether indenting the sides of novel objects (e.g., product packaging) would influence where people grasp, and hence focus their gaze, under the assumption that gaze precedes grasping.

Grasping at Origins [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2008
Chromosome segregation in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus involves propulsion of the replication origin and its capture at one pole of the cell. Bowman et al. (2008) and Ebersbach et al. (2008) now report the discovery of a protein called PopZ that mediates this chromosome capture.

Holding a handle for balance during continuous postural perturbations – immediate and transitionary effects on whole body posture

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
When balance is exposed to perturbations, hand contacts are often used to assist postural control. We investigated the immediate and the transitionary effects of supportive hand contacts during continuous anteroposterior perturbations of stance by ...

Simulative Evaluation of a Joint-Cartesian Hybrid Motion Mapping for Robot Hands Based on Spatial In-Hand Information

open access: yesFrontiers in Robotics and AI, 2022
Two sub-problems are typically identified for the replication of human finger motions on artificial hands: the measurement of the motions on the human side and the mapping method of human hand movements (primary hand) on the robotic hand (target hand ...

Grasping Field: Learning Implicit Representations for Human Grasps [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Conference on 3D Vision, 2020
Robotic grasping of house-hold objects has made remarkable progress in recent years. Yet, human grasps are still difficult to synthesize realistically.

Posture does not matter!:paw usage and grasping paw preference in a small-bodied rooting quadrupedal mammal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: Recent results in birds, marsupials, rodents and nonhuman primates suggest that phylogeny and ecological factors such as body size, diet and postural habit of a species influence limb usage and the direction and strength of limb laterality ...

Seeing and Hearing in the Laozi and Zhuangzi and the Question of Authority and Authenticity

open access: yesReligions, 2019
The present paper investigates the significance of visual and auditory metaphors as used in the main Daoist classics the Laozi 老子 and Zhuangzi 莊子. While both works disparage the role of the senses, they nonetheless employ a large number of metaphors ...
