"Brain Predictions Improve Catching Skills"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Neuroscience News
Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester have found that the ability to visually predict movement may be an important part of the ability to grab a moving object. The study found an intricate coordination between vision and motor skills, suggesting that the brain can anticipate movement even with an 80-millisecond delay in response time. This crucial understanding could improve our comprehension of various neurological disorders marked by visuomotor control problems. The research may lead to advanced computational behavior analysis strategies to study these disorders.
