Thème de recherche de l'équipe

The Perception-Action team brings together scientists with different skills and research interests but with a common goal: to better understand the mechanisms underlying how our perception and action and ultimately consciousness are influenced by different sensory experiences and vice versa, and how the action-perception loop is central to our cognition. 

We cover topics as diverse as visual, auditory and tactile perception, action including eye movements, object manipulation and locomotion, concept formation and perceptual representation, social cognition, and body representation. Our research populations include both adults and developmental populations (such as infants and children), and sometimes robots. 

We deploy multiple techniques ranging from behavioral methods such as psychophysics, movement kinematics and eye tracking to brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electro/magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG), to investigate how sensory information turns into perceptual experience and how it influences action and is in turn influenced by it.
