Subcortical control of reaching in humans

This study investigates subcortical control of reaching in humans using a visuomotor task, finding coordinated muscle responses that suggest subcortical systems can compute musculoskeletal dynamics for reaching.

Motor decision-making under uncertainty and time pressure

The paper investigates motor decision-making under uncertainty and time pressure, finding that reaching dynamics reflect only the selected action, not an average of alternatives.

Express visuomotor responses reflect knowledge of both target location and conscious intent during reaches of different amplitudes

Cue-driven motor planning facilitates express visuomotor responses in human arm muscles

The paper shows that symbolic cues modulate express visuomotor responses in human arm muscles, suggesting motor plan-level modulation rather than early visuospatial processing.

Trial-by-trial modulation of express visuomotor responses induced by symbolic or barely detectable cues

The paper investigates how symbolic and barely detectable cues modulate express visuomotor responses, showing both top-down and bottom-up influences on a subcortical network.

The influence of temporal predictability on express visuomotor responses

This study investigates how temporal predictability affects express visuomotor responses, finding that predictable target timing enhances the frequency and strength of stimulus-locked responses.
