Spatial contextual cues that help predict how a target will accelerate can be used to guide interception (2023)
Journal Article
Crowe, E. M., Smeets, J. B., & Brenner, E. (2023). Spatial contextual cues that help predict how a target will accelerate can be used to guide interception. Journal of Vision, 23(12), Article 7. https://doi.org/10.1167/jov.23.12.7

Objects in one's environment do not always move at a constant velocity but often accelerate or decelerate. People are very poor at visually judging acceleration and normally make systematic errors when trying to intercept accelerating objects. If the...

Online updating of obstacle positions when intercepting a virtual target (2023)
Journal Article
Crowe, E. M., Smeets, J. B., & Brenner, E. (2023). Online updating of obstacle positions when intercepting a virtual target. Experimental Brain Research, 241(7), 1811–1820. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-023-06634-5

People rely upon sensory information in the environment to guide their actions. Ongoing goal-directed arm movements are constantly adjusted to the latest estimate of both the target and hand's positions. Does the continuous guidance of ongoing arm mo...

Slightly perturbing the arm influences choices between multiple targets (2023)
Journal Article
Hadjipanayi, V., Brenner, E., & Crowe, E. M. (2023). Slightly perturbing the arm influences choices between multiple targets. Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics, 85, 1777-1783 . https://doi.org/10.3758/s13414-023-02680-x

We constantly make choices about how to interact with objects in the environment. Do we immediately consider changes in our posture when making such choices? To find out, we examined whether motion in the background, which is known to influence the t... Read More about Slightly perturbing the arm influences choices between multiple targets.
