| Abstract: | Actions that involve making contact
with surfaces often demand perceptual
regulation of the impact — for example,
of feet with ground when walking or of
bat with ball when hitting. Here we investigate
how this control of impact is achieved
in golf putting, where control of the clubhead
motion at ball impact is paramount in
ensuring that the ball will travel the
required distance. Our results from ten professional
golfers indicate that the clubhead
motion is spatially scaled and perceptually
regulated by coupling it onto an intrinsic
guide generated in the nervous system |
