Gaze shifts during object manipulation are predictive, not just reactive. Unexpected tactile feedback can delay gaze shifts, indicating predictive control timed for visual capture of hand actions.

Area of Science:

Neuroscience
Human-Computer Interaction
Motor Control

Background:

Object manipulation relies on sequential actions and contact events.
Gaze typically follows these contact events during task execution.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate the timing of gaze shifts relative to hand movements in object manipulation.
Determine if gaze shifts are triggered by tactile feedback or predictively controlled.

Main Methods:

Participants contacted virtual objects using a handle, with and without visual feedback.
Simulated contact forces were occasionally removed (catch contacts) to disrupt tactile feedback.

Main Results:

Gaze shifts occurred ~100 ms after contact, generally unaffected by force removal.

In ~30% of catch contacts, gaze shifts were delayed, correlating with trials lacking force feedback.

Conclusions:

Gaze shifts are predictively controlled to capture hand actions in central vision.
Deviations in expected tactile information can reorganize gaze behavior, especially for later shifts.
