Abstract(in English) The authors investigated the role of visual information in doing Japanese ball-juggling (Otedama), in order to clarify how our brain obtaines and utilizes the visual information in motor control. In Experiment 1, the eye movements were measured when a subject did ball-juggling. The result showed that the eyes repeated saccadic movements and pursuit movements alternatively synchronizing with the ball movement. In Experiment 2, the authors manipulated the visual information during the movement. Subjects wore a LCD shutter eye glasses, which were closed with synchronized with the ball movement. The result showed that the subject's performance dropped most when the shutters were closed at the later part of ball movements. The schematic model was discussed to explain the experimental results.
