Brief presentation

Our research is carried out within the group of Vision and Control of Action and the Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (IR3C). Our perspective assumes strong relations between perception and action. Action is traditionally regarded as a final product mediated by cognitive activity and started by the stimulation of our sensory systems. We think that this view is quite limited. Thus, we try to emphasize the motor contribution to sensory processing as well.
Within this framework, we mainly address temporal aspects in perception and action by using different tasks that usually involve synchronisation, interception and time-related perceptual judgements. We use different methodologies to tackle our questions empirically: virtual really, eye and motion tracking, psychophysics and neuroimage.
