Automatic avoidance of obstacles is a dorsal stream function: evidence from optic ataxia (2004)
Journal Article

When we reach out to pick something up, our arm is directed to the target by visuomotor networks in the cortical dorsal stream. However, our reach trajectories are influenced also by nontarget objects, which might be construed as potential obstacles....

Avoidance of obstacles in the absence of visual awareness (2004)
Journal Article

The spatial character of our reaching movements is extremely sensitive to potential obstacles in the workspace. We recently found that this sensitivity was retained by most patients with left visual neglect when reaching between two objects, despite...
