The latest article from the Perception and Action lab, “Task-Specific Sensorimotor Adaptation to Reversing Prisms”, is now out in the Journal of Neurophysiology. It is available for download on our Publications page.

This work was done in collaboration with Gerry Keith and Doug Crawford from the Centre for Vision Research at York University.

Here, we show that subjects adapt parallel sensorimotor modules that are specifically task-related (e.g. reach vs. grasp) when adapting to optically reversing prisms that “flip” the normal spatial relationship between vision and motor behaviour.
