■ Title   Prospective versus predictive control in timing of hitting a falling ball

■ Outline   Kinamatic analysis of hitting a falling ball revealed that timing of initiating a bat swing movement was organized by taking gravitational acceleration into account. The swing movement was modulated with respect to the timing of movement initiation to meet tha ball at the interception point. These results support the idea that the interceptive movement is organized by adopting the predictive strategy with the prospective movement control.   Russell, D.M.   Collaboration   Experimental Brain Research   Springer      2011/12
