Pavlovian threat learning shapes the kinematics of action
Prompt response to environmental threats is critical to survival. Previous research has revealed mechanisms underlying threat-conditioned physiological responses, but little is known about how threats shape action.

Hierarchical Control of Visually-Guided Movements in a 3D-Printed Robot Arm
The control architecture guiding simple movements such as reaching toward a visual target remains an open problem. The nervous system needs to integrate different sensory modalities and coordinate multiple degrees of freedom in the human arm to achieve ...

Optimizing Movement Performance with Altered Sensation: An Examination of Multisensory Inputs
Two experiments were conducted to assess the impact of induced paresthesia on movement parameters of goal-directed aiming movements to determine how visual and auditory feedback may enhance performance when somatosensory feedback is disrupted.

Validity and Reliability of Kinect v2 for Quantifying Upper Body Kinematics during Seated Reaching
Kinematic analysis of the upper limbs is a good way to assess and monitor recovery in individuals with stroke, but it remains little used in clinical routine due to its low feasibility.

Testing for optic ataxia in a blind field
Optic ataxia is a component of Balint’s syndrome and is a disorder that results from damage to the posterior parietal cortex leading to deficits in reaching and grasping objects presented in the visual field opposite to the damaged hemisphere. It is also
