    We present a kinematic study of grasping behavior of a patient with a classical visual form agnosia. The special issue is the choice of the objects for grasping. We used everyday natural objects and masked objects (natural objects painted black). We also compared the performance of the agnosia patient with a group of normal subjects. The most interesting finding of our study are the effects of color masking. We are convinced that our manuscript fits very well into the scope of Frontiers in Psychology.
