Abstract

Interactions between visual and motor spaces were studied using tracking movements in a virtual action space paradigm. Disturbances of the regular structure of the visual space was done using computer modeling of the Hering visual illusion. The distribution of the cinematic characteristics of tracking movements in the coordinate system, associated with the target of the motor task, revealed the dominance of topological characteristics over metric characteristics during the formation of the motor field. Factors producing the appropriate topology were determined. It was found that motor space is more susceptible to these factors than visual field.
