Studying vision-action integration
Action is critically dependent on visual perception
Vision informs action, and action is adjusted based on feedback from vision
Studying vision-action integration
Task: Draw parallel lines, keeping time with a metronome that increases rate of ticking
Either done with eyes open or eyes closed
vision affects action
Actively calibrating vision & action a) can quickly & accurately adjust & b) doesn't require extensive learning
In this experiment, wearing prism goggles results in woman throwing 10 cm off-target at first... but with time she becomes as accurate as she was without the goggles.
Action affects vision
How you process sensory information will depend on the actions you are considering taking.

vision & Body position
Which spatial frequency of an object we perceive most accurately varies depending on where that object is relative to the hands
Low spatial frequency is prioritized near the hands, corresponding to which information is most useful for grasping
Neural Mechanisms of Perception for Action
Dorsal pathway in parietal cortex is prominent
Anterior Intraparietal Area (AIP)
Grasping
Medial Intraparietal Area (MIP)
Reaching
Lateral Intraparietal Area (LIP)
Eye movements
Bimodal Neurons and Tool Use
The receptive field of a bimodal neuron can adjust to encompass a tool used by that part of the body
Almost like the tool is “a part of you”
Mirror neurons
Neurons that respond to both your own actions and similar actions performed by another
Thought to play an important role in learning from observing others
