Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach

University of Birmingham
School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.
