Perception and action

Action

We study sight, hearing, touch, balance, motor control and decision making.

Our aim is to understand how perceptual information is processed, how it influences actions, how voluntary and automatic actions are created, and how actions influence perception. We use methodologies including psychophysics, eye movement recording, computer modelling, fMRI and MEG methods.
