The heavier the arm, the higher the action: the effects of forearm-weight changes on reach-to-grasp movements
Usually, our bodily movements are performed against gravity. Most studies using a force field have focused on adaptation processes to force applied in the horizontal plane, which is novel to us, but not to for...

Open AccessEffects of synchronised engine sound and vibration presentation on visually induced motion sickness
Driving simulator usage is often accompanied by motion sickness, and techniques for its prevention are not yet established. To reduce visually induced motion sickness (VIMS), we investigated the effects of syn...

Adaptive changes in automatic motor responses based on acquired visuomotor correspondence
The present study tested whether remap** of visuomotor correspondence alters automatic motor responses induced by visual stimuli. We hypothesized that the congruency effect, an automatic modulation of motor ...

The influence of the indicator arm on end point distribution in proprioceptive localization with multi-joint arms
The present study attempted to demonstrate that the indicator arm influences end point distribution in contralateral multi-joint proprioceptive tasks and also that intrinsic physical characteristics of multi-j...
