The mechanisms responsible for the flash-lag effect cannot provide the motor prediction that we need in daily life
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2008
Abstract
The visual prediction that Nijhawan proposes cannot explain why the flash-lag effect depends on what happens after the flash. Moreover, using a visual prediction based on retinal image motion to compensate for neuronal time delays will seldom be of any use for motor control, because one normally pursues objects with which one intends to interact with ones eyes.
