Choosing between alternative wrist postures: Action planning needs perception (2008)
Journal Article
Dijkerman, H. C., McIntosh, R. D., Schindler, I., Nijboer, T. C. W., & Milner, A. D. (2009). Choosing between alternative wrist postures: Action planning needs perception. Neuropsychologia, 47(6), 1476-1482. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.12.002

When normal subjects grasp with their right hand a rectangular object placed at different orientations in the horizontal plane, they change from a 'thumb left' (clockwise) to a 'thumb right' (anti-clockwise) grasp when the orientation exceeds about 1...

Contralateral visual search deficits following TMS (2008)
Journal Article
Schindler, I., Ellison, A., & Milner, A. D. (2008). Contralateral visual search deficits following TMS. Journal of neuropsychology, 2(2), 501-508. https://doi.org/10.1348/174866407x227024

Transcranial magnetic stimulation of posterior parietal vs. superior temporal sites cause differential effects on conventional conjunction vs. feature search tasks, respectively. We now report that when a decision has to be made on the target's left/... Read More about Contralateral visual search deficits following TMS.

Delay abolishes the obstacle avoidance deficit in unilateral optic ataxia (2008)
Journal Article
Rice, N. J., Edwards, M. G., Schindler, I., Punt, T. D., McIntosh, R. D., Humphreys, G. W., …Milner, A. D. (2008). Delay abolishes the obstacle avoidance deficit in unilateral optic ataxia. Neuropsychologia, 46(5), 1549-1557. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.01.012

Optic ataxic patients have deficits in the visual control of manual reaching and grasping. It has been established previously that these deficits in target-directed behaviour improve following a delay in response. Recently it has been demonstrated th...
