Seeing your error alters my pointing: observing systematic pointing errors induces sensori-motor after-effects.

During the procedure of prism adaptation, subjects execute pointing movements to visual targets under a lateral optical displacement: as consequence of the discrepancy between visual and proprioceptive inputs, their visuo-motor activity is characterized by pointing errors. The perception of such fin...
