DOI: 10.1152/jn.00872.2017
Abstract: Making a movement may be thought of as an economic decision in which one spends effort to acquire reward. Time discounts reward, which predicts that the magnitude of reward should affect movement vigor: we should… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0224265
Abstract: Background and objectives Human motor control (HMC) has been hypothesized to involve state estimation, prediction and feedback control to overcome noise, delays and disturbances. However, the nature of communication between these processes, and, in particular,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2017.00323
Abstract: Reaching behavior represents one of the basic aspects of human cognitive abilities important for the interaction with the environment. Reaching movements towards visual objects are controlled by mechanisms based on coordinate systems that transform the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3758/s13414-020-01984-6
Abstract: Previous studies in visual attention and oculomotor research showed that a physically salient distractor does not always capture attention or the eyes. Under certain top-down task sets, a salient distractor can be actively suppressed, avoiding… read more here.
