Proprioception calibration during visually guided movements differs with visual feedback. Full vision leads to rapid decay of aftereffects, suggesting online visual influence on movement planning.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Motor Control
  • Human Movement Science

Background:

  • Proprioception, the sense of self-movement and body position, is crucial for motor control.
  • Understanding how proprioception is calibrated, especially during visually guided movements, is essential for explaining motor learning and adaptation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether proprioception is calibrated during visually guided movements.
  • To examine the role of visual feedback in the recalibration of proprioception.

Main Methods:

  • A visuomotor adaptation paradigm was employed with two groups: full vision (FV) and no vision (NV).
  • Participants adapted to a directional bias between hand and cursor position.
  • Aftereffects were measured in a post-test phase with vision removed.

Main Results:

  • The no vision group exhibited strong proprioceptive aftereffects.
  • The full vision group showed only transient aftereffects that rapidly diminished.
  • Early aftereffects in the FV group were attributed to an offline influence of vision on movement planning.

Conclusions:

  • Visual feedback significantly influences proprioceptive calibration during motor adaptation.
  • The brain appears to use visual information for online adjustments, reducing reliance on proprioceptive recalibration when vision is present.
