Motor planning of goal-directed action is tuned by the emotional valence of the stimulus: a kinematic study

The basic underpinnings of homeostatic behavior include interacting with positive items and avoiding negative ones. As the planning aspects of goal-directed actions can be inferred from their movement features, we investigated the kinematics of interacting with emotion-laden stimuli. Participants we...
