It is becoming increasingly clear that theories of brain function based on simple measures, such as saccadic eye movements or button presses, fail to capture the full capabilities of our motor systems. Furthermore, many of our own actions are determined in response to the actions of others. Currently, assessment of human actions is typically performed in dedicated laboratories devoted to the study of a single subject, often making a single movement, in a fairly constrained and contrived fashion. To better understand the real-world capabilities of the human motor system, funds are requested to construct a mobile laboratory that will permit integrated, multifaceted measurement of human behavior from one or more actors. The requested equipment will fundamentally change how human sensori-motor behaviour is studied, moving such study into a less constrained configuration suitable for studying naturalistic behaviours.

越来越清楚的是，基于简单测量的脑功能理论，如眼球跳动或按下按钮，无法捕捉到我们运动系统的全部能力。此外，我们自己的许多行为都是由他人的行为决定的。目前，对人类行为的评估通常是在专门的实验室中进行的，这些实验室致力于研究单一主题，通常以相当有限和人为的方式进行单一运动。为了更好地了解人类运动系统的真实世界能力，需要资金来建设一个移动实验室，该实验室将允许从一个或多个参与者对人类行为进行综合、多方面的测量。所要求的设备将从根本上改变人类感觉运动行为的研究方式，将这种研究转移到适合研究自然行为的较少约束的配置中。
