A Neural Circuit Model for Prospective Control of Interceptive Reaching

Abstract

Two prospective controllers of hand movements in catching -- both based on required velocity control -- were simulated. Under certain conditions, this required velocity controlled to overshoots of the future interception point. These overshoots were absent in pertinent experiments. To remedy this shortcoming, the required velocity model was reformulated in terms of a neural network, the Vector Integration To Endpoint model, to create a Required Velocity Integration To Endpoint modeL Addition of a parallel relative velocity channel, resulting in the Relative and Required Velocity Integration To Endpoint model, provided a better account for the experimentally observed kinematics than the existing, purely behavioral models. Simulations of reaching to intercept decelerating and accelerating objects in the presence of background motion were performed to make distinct predictions for future experiments.Vrije Universiteit (Gerrit-Jan van Jngen-Schenau stipend of the Faculty of Human Movement Sciences); Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences; Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Office of Naval Research (N00014-95-1-0409
