Location: Salle de séminaire Harvey 1, UCL Brussels
Time:
12:00 ”Updating visual space for motor
control”
Abstract: To
maintain a stable perception of the visual world, our brain must update our
representation of visual space each time our eyes move. How does spatial
memory compute the changing locations of remembered targets relative to the
eyes when the eyes move? And how does the brain use a target’s
location, stored in spatial memory, to guide repeated pointing movements
when the eyes are looking in different directions? I will present behavioural data concerning how the brain estimates the
size and direction of eye movements when updating spatial memory, and how
the arm control system updates remembered target locations when programming
multiple pointing movements to the same vanished target.
