N2 - We developed a new technique to measure the contributions of rapid visuomotor feedback responses to the stabilization of a simulated inverted pendulum. Human participants balanced an inverted pendulum simulated on a robotic manipulandum. At a random time during the balancing task, the visual representation of the tip of the pendulum was shifted by a small displacement to the left or right while the motor response was measured. This response was either the exerted force against a fixation position, or the motion to re-stabilize the pendulum in the free condition. Our results demonstrate that rapid involuntary visuomotor feedback responses contribute to the stabilization of the pendulum.
