Neural substrates of visual spatial coding and visual feedback control for hand movements in allocentric and target-directed tasks (2011)
Journal Article
Thaler, L., & Goodale, M. (2011). Neural substrates of visual spatial coding and visual feedback control for hand movements in allocentric and target-directed tasks. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 5, Article 92. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnhum.2011.00092

Neuropsychological evidence suggests that different brain areas may be involved in movements that are directed at visual targets (e.g., pointing or reaching), and movements that are based on allocentric visual information (e.g., drawing or copying)....

Neural correlates of natural human echolocation in early and late blind echolocation experts (2011)
Journal Article
Thaler, L., Arnott, S., & Goodale, M. (2011). Neural correlates of natural human echolocation in early and late blind echolocation experts. PLoS ONE, 6(5), Article e20162. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0020162

Background: A small number of blind people are adept at echolocating silent objects simply by producing mouth clicks and listening to the returning echoes. Yet the neural architecture underlying this type of aid-free human echolocation has not been i...

Toward an integrated approach to perception and action: conference report and future directions (2011)
Journal Article
Gordon, G., Kaplan, D., Lankow, B., Little, D., Sherwin, J., Suter, B., & Thaler, L. (2011). Toward an integrated approach to perception and action: conference report and future directions. Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 5, Article 20. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnsys.2011.00020

This article was motivated by the conference entitled “Perception & Action – An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Systems Theory,” which took place September 14–16, 2010 at the Santa Fe Institute, NM, USA. The goal of the conference was to brin... Read More about Toward an integrated approach to perception and action: conference report and future directions.

The role of online visual feedback for the control of target-directed and allocentric hand movements (2011)
Journal Article
Thaler, L., & Goodale, M. (2011). The role of online visual feedback for the control of target-directed and allocentric hand movements. Journal of Neurophysiology, 105(2), 846-859. https://doi.org/10.1152/jn.00743.2010

Studies that have investigated how sensory feedback about the moving hand is used to control hand movements have relied on paradigms such as pointing or reaching that require subjects to acquire target locations. In the context of these target-direct... Read More about The role of online visual feedback for the control of target-directed and allocentric hand movements.
