Obstacle avoidance task

By Mikhail in · July 19, 2012 · No comments

MORAN/PEARCE The obstacle-avoidance task is a variation on the center-out reaching task in which an obstacle sometimes prevents the monkey from moving directly to the target. The monkey must first place a cursor (yellow) on the central target (purple). This was the starting position. After the first hold, a second target appeared (green). After the second hold an obstacle appeared (red box). After the third hold, the center target disappeared, indicating a “go” for the monkey, which then moved the cursor out and around the obstacle to the target.
