Superior colliculus

Step-by-step explanation:

The brain coordinates with head and eye that permits a person to catch a ball. The part of brain is associated with this coordination is the superior colliculus. It is the part of the tectum of the midbrain. The superior colliculus is many layered and multi-sensory structure. The visual signals from the eye are received by the upper layer of the superior colliculus and the lower layers of the superior colliculus process many signals from various other parts of the brain. Thus, it coordinates with head and eye in the process of catching a ball.
