Journal ArticleDOI
The neuroscience of grasping
TL;DR: Recent research in behavioural neuroscience, neuroimaging and electrophysiology has the potential to reveal where in the brain the process of grasping is organized, but has yet to address several questions about the sensorimotor transformations that relate to the control of the hands.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Human Premotor Cortex Is 'Mirror' Only for Biological Actions
TL;DR: It is shown that when subjects observed manual grasping actions performed by a human model a significant neural response was elicited in the left premotor cortex, indicating for the first time that in humans the mirror system is biologically tuned.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size of the attentional focus and efficiency of processing
Umberto Castiello,Carlo Umiltà +1 more
TL;DR: The results seem to provide answers to these questions: the size of the attentional focus can be adjusted so that it covers areas of the visual field of different size and there is a decrease in processing efficiency when the area of the Attentional focus increases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal dissociation of motor responses and subjective awareness. A study in normal subjects.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the timing of different responses given simultaneously to a single event, the sudden displacement of a visual object occurring at the onset of the grasping movement directed at that object.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of different types of grasping on the transport component of prehension movements.
Maurizio Gentilucci,Umberto Castiello,Maria Letizia Corradini,M. Scarpa,Carlo Umiltà,Giacomo Rizzolatti +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed that, once the precision requirements were taken into account, the transport component remained unmodified with the different types of grip, which is interpreted as further evidence in favour of independence between the transport and the manipulation "channels".
