Humans perform goal-directed actions such as reaching for a light switch or grasping a
coffee mug thousands of times a day. Behind the scenes of these seemingly simple actions …

Egocentric encoding is a well-known property of brain areas along the dorsal pathway.
Different to previous experiments, which typically only demanded egocentric spatial …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that humans incorporate allocentric information when
reaching toward visual targets. So far, it is unclear how this information is integrated into the …

Previous research has shown that egocentric and allocentric information is used for coding
target locations for memory-guided reaching movements. Especially, task-relevance …

The aim of the current study was to develop a novel task that allows for the quick
assessment of spatial memory precision with minimal technical and training requirements. In …

The 2-streams model of vision suggests that egocentric and allocentric reference frames are
utilized by the dorsal and the ventral stream for real-time and memory-guided movements …

When reaching to an object, information about the target location as well as the initial hand
position is required to program the motor plan for the arm. The initial hand position can be …

To guide our actions, the brain has developed mechanisms to code target locations in
egocentric coordinates (ie, with respect to the observer), and to update these when the …

In the field of spatial coding it is well established that we mentally represent objects for
action not only relative to ourselves, egocentrically, but also relative to other objects …

An essential difference between pictorial space displayed as paintings, photographs, or
computer screens, and the visual space experienced in the real world is that the observer …
