Abstract

Recent investigations in the field of sensori-motor interaction suggest that the main concepts and models which were operational in the past when restricted experimental conditions were used, have to be largely reevaluated when the geometrical constraints and the multidimensional aspects of sensori-motor control are taken into consideration (Gurfinkel and Shik, 1973; Pellionisz and Llinas, 1979; Droulez et al., 1985).
