Funded Activity Summary

Interceptive Action: Performance, Neuromotor Control and Learning. Natural, everyday environments are dynamic. People, animals and other objects move around and human behaviour must be geared to these motions: people must anticipate where things are going and when they will get there so that undesirable collisions and contacts can be avoided and desirable ones achieved. This project investigates basic modes of interacting with dynamic environments - intercepting and evading objects in motion. The aim is to extend our understanding of the principles, control mechanisms and brain structures involved. Such understanding has the potential to contribute to areas such as road safety, autonomous robotics, sports training and neurological rehabilitation.
