  • Examination of neurophysiological data related to target motion processing and interception tasks.

    • Main Results:

    • Interceptive actions are controlled by specific spatial and temporal target parameters.
    • Diverse strategies are employed by individuals to intercept moving targets.
    • The parietofrontal system exhibits distinct neurophysiological properties during motion processing and interception.
    • Neural responses correlate with temporal and spatial target parameters, suggesting integration mechanisms for movement triggering.

    Conclusions:

    • Manual interception involves a sophisticated interplay of sensory, cognitive, and motor processes.
    • The parietofrontal network is critical for processing target motion and executing interception.
    • Neural mechanisms integrate spatial and temporal information to initiate timely and accurate interceptive movements.
