Attention directs actions in visual foraging by Jan Tünnermann, Anna Schubö

“…This bias combines with motor precision demands, such as aiming for stable contact points. Our findings show that action planning not only modulates the attentional landscape at large but also that attentional asymmetries (e.g., prioritizing one object part) feed back into the motor system, combining with motoric factors to refine goal-directed actions.…”
