Introduction to Section on Perception and Action Themes in Perception and Action

摘要

Over the past few decades, several research communities have (more or less independently) converged onto the idea that many interesting and important issues can be addressed by studying the connection between perception and action. Although much has been learned about vision, hearing, touch, and motor control by studying these systems in isolation, investigations of the rich interplay between perception and action have led to a new set of research questions and a fresh perspective on old problems. The six chapters that follow illustrate why the study of perception and action is bound to play an important role in making progress in motor control.
