Abstract

Hand grasp movements are frequent during our everyday activities. When encountering a moving hand aiming at an object, we are able to quickly recognize the grasp movement and characterize it. Here we aim to: 1) Determine how well humans can identify the object of a grasp based on observing grasp movements, and 2) Identify the core dimensions underlying these judgements.
