When required, humans can generate very short latency reaches toward visual targets, such
as catching a falling cellphone. During such rapid reaches, express arm responses are the …

To reach towards a seen object, visual information has to be transformed into motor
commands. Visual information such as the object’s color, shape, and size are processed and …

Sensorimotor adaptation, the ability to adjust motor output in response to persistent changes
in sensory input, is a key function of the central nervous system. Although a great deal is …

The ability to adjust the amplitude of gaze shifts in response to persistent visual errors (“gaze
adaptation”) has been investigated primarily by introducing visual errors at the end of …

Following the suggestion that a command encoding current target location feeds the oculomotor
system during interceptive saccades, we tested the involvement of the deep superior …

How rapidly can the brain transform vision into action? Work in humans has established that
the transformation for visually-guided reaching can be remarkably rapid, with the first phase …

What is the impact of the gender pay gap in academia over the course of a career and
retirement? To quantify this impact, we used a Canadian post-secondary institution as a case …

When the head is prevented from moving, it has been clearly demonstrated that the horizontal
and vertical components of oblique saccades are not independently produced. The …

There are very few students of history who have not read or heard these words from Franklin
Delano Roosevelt’s 1933 inaugural speech. They were spoken at a time when millions of …

When the head does not move, rapid movements of the eyes called saccades are used to
redirect the line of sight. Saccades are defined by a series of metrical and kinematic (evolution …
