Description

Truly international, this extensive text combines the efforts of eight laboratories from seven countries in investigating the study of problems of manipulation, orienting, and navigating in humans and animals. The novel, multidisciplinary approach places the study of multisensory control of movement in a three-dimensional frame, with reference to computer models and neuronal mechanisms. Of interest to researchers, clinicians, and advanced students in neuroscience, psychology, andneurology, the text also has important implications for researchers in biomedical engineering and robotics.
