Overview

Randomized trial compares rapid visuomotor feedback during fixation and tracking, suggesting consistent processing across tasks.

Key Points

  • This study aims to determine if visual tasks like tracking affect rapid corrections during reaching.
  • Participants either fixated on a stationary target or engaged in smooth pursuit of a moving target.
  • Visual representation of the hand was perturbed during reaching to measure corrective responses.
  • Performance was compared across fixation and tracking conditions.
  • Corrections during reaching were equally strong regardless of gaze-task demands.
  • Response gains were strongly correlated across fixation and pursuit tasks.
  • Slight performance decline was observed during reaching when engaged in smooth pursuit.
