Feedback control undistorts body representations: A possible solution to the hand paradox

doi.org/10.31234/osf...

New theory paper with @pevianiv.bsky.social where we take a stab at reconciling the seemingly contradictory findings of distorted body representations & optimal motor control

🚨 We're now looking for contributions to our special issue in Brain Structure and Function - please consider submitting if you have related findings or thoughts: link.springer.com/collections/...

Feedback and literature suggestions most welcome, thank you (for your attention to this matter!)

AND: violations of visual kinematic invariants in spatially displaced feedback can be detected during observation (as in previous work e.g. by @royesal.bsky.social); but that even here, action enhances sensitivity through visuomotor comparisons.

We show that perception overall benefits from action (i.e., visuomotor comparisons); especially for delayed feedback.

So the key difference was in whether or not visual and motor kinematics corresponded; and using the elliptical shape, we expected participants to produce systematic variations in velocity - and be sensitive when visual feedback violated those.

There's some neat bits to our design (we believe), such as that delayed and displaced feedback followed the same (elliptical) trajectory as the executed movement; and that it was matched in terms of overall spatial deviation.

Action enhances the detection of visuomotor incongruence: A comparison of matched spatial vs temporal manipulations along identical trajectories Introducing delays to visual movement feedback or displacing it in space is a common experimental manipulation to study the neurocomputational basis of flexible motor control and self-other distinctio...

🚨🥳 New lab preprint! In this #preregistered study, we used an elliptical movement task to study perceptual sensitivity to well-matched spatial vs temporal visual feedback perturbations (during action vs observation).

The beta release of SPM-Python is out now! Amazing work by Johan Medrano @johmedr.bsky.social , Yael Balbastre, Yulia Bezsudnova @ybezs.bsky.social and other members of their team. A new era for SPM! #OHBM2025

Awesome, save some time for a trip to Greifswald!

Peng Wang will present his work on "Aligning Brain Rhythms with Action" in the symposium "Neural and Behavioural Insights into Predictive Processing in Action and Perception"

Fanni Peters and Josy Gräfe will present their posters "Detection And Discrimination Of Spatial Vs Temporal Visuomotor Incongruence" and "Neural Oscillations During Continuous Target Tracking Under Varying Visuomotor Conflict" on Thursday!

Sadly unable to attend myself, but the lab will be at @pug2025.bsky.social !

Task dependent cortico-cerebellar responses to delayed visual movement feedback Forward models in the brain issue predictions of sensory movement consequences that can establish self-other distinction through comparison with actual feedback. But forward models can also be updated...

🚨 New preprint with Gesche Vigh! We show differences in how temporal, parietal, and cerebellar regions process visuomotor delays - depending on whether or not you try to adapt to them or ignore them :) 👇
