Presentation
Our research implies strong relations between perception and action. We assume that it is virtually impossible to unconfound both. This view is by no means new. Helmholtz already stressed that space perception and its underlying metrics is determined by how we have (inter)acted with objects around us. Since the directional link perception->action has been implicitly assumed by many models so far, we emphasize the complementary link.
Within this framework, one of our interest is the psychophysical study of how an observer deals with the localisation of objects in a world where both objects and observers can change their position very quickly. Are the mechanisms that enable this capability the same for perception and action?
Our basic stance is that the explanatory mechanism should be local and that the global aspects of our percept arise in order to give an apparent consistency.
