An MEG investigation of the neural mechanisms subserving complex visuomotor coordination.

Fifteen human participants performed a manual and ocular tracking task with a continuously and unpredictably moving visual target, while magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals were recorded. Three-dimensional source reconstructions were generated from the MEG signals, using synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM). The SAM images indicated main effects of alpha band (8-15 Hz) and beta band (15-30 Hz) source power decreases, for manual tracking in the sensorimotor and parietal cortices, and for ocular tracking in the parietal and occipital cortices.

Adaptation to sensory-motor temporal misalignment: instrumental or perceptual learning?

Sensory-motor delays vary over the course of development and under different environmental conditions. Previous research has shown that humans can compensate for the resulting temporal misalignment while performing sensory-motor tasks (e.g.
