R2G Flashcards
how much head rotation do we use for accuracy
100% of angular distance
what encodes the postion of the hand relative to gaze and goal
dorsal premotor cortex
what kinematics vary according to goals/contstraints of tasks
velocity
movement duration
describe the motor planning pathway through the brain
visual cortex (to parietal and temporal) -> prefrontal cortex -> to cerebellum/BG and motor cortex -> brain stem -> spinal cord
describe the ventral visual pathway
perception and object recognition (what)
visual cortex -> temporal cortex
what descending path is used for reach
midbrain and brainstem
what descending pathway is used for grasp
primary motor cortex and corticospinal tract (processed parallel)
what aspects of the brain help to determine grip
visual cortex
parietal lobe
premotor cortex
what are the different types of grips
hook
spherical
cylindrical
describe anticipatory shaping of grasping patterns
pre-grasp is determined by intrinsic and extrinsic properties of object
grip size is proportional to object (max aperture -> reduced to match)
what are the phases of grasp, lift, and release
contact
grip and load
lift release
what happens if you have a ventral stream lesion
no conscious perception or dimension of objects, but able to pick up objects with great adeptness
what happens if you have a dorsal stream lesion
both sensory and movement related deficits
what does the medial superior temporal region do in movement planning
planning of smooth pursuit
what does the posterior parietal cortex do in movement planning
encodes orientation for R2G
