Distinct neural components of visually guided grasping during planning and execution

The paper investigates brain networks involved in visually guided grasping during planning and execution using fMRI, revealing distinct neural encoding of grasp axis, size, and object mass in different brain regions.

Friction is preferred over grasp configuration in precision grip grasping

The paper investigates whether humans prioritize grasp stability or natural grasp configuration during precision grip tasks, finding that stability overrides comfort.

Humans can visually judge grasp quality and refine their judgments through visual and haptic feedback

The paper shows humans can judge grasp quality from visual input and improve through visual and haptic feedback.

Predicting precision grip grasp locations on three-dimensional objects

The paper presents a model that predicts human precision grip grasp locations on 3D objects using behavioral data and five cost functions, showing high accuracy across different conditions.

Object visibility, not energy expenditure, accounts for spatial biases in human grasp selection

The paper re-analyzes grasping data to determine whether spatial biases are due to energy minimization or visibility maximization, finding visibility is the primary factor.
