Posture-movement co-ordination when reaching in immersive visual virtual environment

Abstract

International audienceThe virtual reality is more and more applied in neurobehavioural experiment such as goal-directed hand movement and postural equilibrium. However, VE exposure often causes errors in the visual guidance of motor activities. Consequently, the development of the virtual environment must take into account the visuomotor transformation principles. The goal of this study was to identify how movement and balance motor commands are co-ordinated in order to integrate the unexpected modification of visual virtual scene
