Abstract(in English) Since one can reach accurately for visual target in space without viewing the hand, location of target must be represented and memorized with a considerable accuracy in the brain. From clinical implications and from the point of view of system engineering, it is hypothesized that the visual-oculomotor sytem and the hand motor system have an individual representation of target position in each system. To corroborate the hypothesis empirically, gaze saccade to self hand position was tested after being prismatically adapted. The result was obtained which is partially supporting the hypothesis. Reaching for visual taget by the foot was also tested after being adapted prismatically, the result of which suggested that the hand motor system and the foot motor system are sharing a common internal representation of space.
