Eye–hand coordination

Eye–hand coordination

Eye–hand (alternatively hand–eye) coordination refers to the control of eye movement and the processing of visual input to guide bodily movement. This has been studied in activities as diverse as tea making, the movement of solid objects such as wooden blocks, sporting performance, music reading, and copy-typing.
