reach and grasp model

The reach and grasp model describes how our brain plans and controls the movements involved in reaching for and holding objects. It involves two main steps: first, the brain calculates how to position the hand to get close to the target (reach), and then it determines the precise finger and hand movements needed to grasp and hold the object (grasp). This process combines sensory information and motor planning to execute smooth, coordinated actions, allowing us to interact effectively with objects in our environment.
