Getting a grip on grasping

Grasping enables humans to get a grip on a variety of surrounding things. In his thesis, Cornelis van de Kamp describes a number of experiments studying grasping behavior. The aim of his thesis is to get a better understanding of how grasping movements are controlled in catching and prehension movements.
The studies on catching and prehension are focused on the question what are the controlled variables, what information do we use, and what is the control law relating the information to the controlled variable. This dissertation proposes a dynamic-tau model which based on time-to-contact information provides an accurate description of the timing of the initiation of hand closure in both catching and prehension.
