Online modification of goal-directed control in human reaching movements
Antoine De Comite, Frédéric Crevecoeur, Philippe Lefèvre
Abstract
The present work demonstrates that the control strategies used to perform reaching movements are adjusted online when the structure of the target or the presence of obstacles are altered during movements. Thus, the properties of goal-directed reaching control are not simply selected during the planning stage of a movement prior to execution. Rather, they are dynamically and rapidly adjusted online, within ∼150 ms, according to changes in environment.
