The brain enables humans to interact with the surrounding world by integrating perception with action. This comes into play in essentially all aspects of work, communication, transportation, and leisure. Canada has invested very successfully in this scientific field, so that we are now poised to develop important practical applications for neuroscience in real-world settings. The goal of the current program is to span this critical bridge, by training students to 1) translate the standard methods and technologies of systems/cognitive neuroscience laboratories to natural behaviors in real-world situations, and 2) apply these findings in non-academic sectors. To accomplish these goals, investigators from the Canadian Action and Perception Network (based at the York Centre for Vision Research, the Western Brain and Mind Institute, and the Queen's Centre for Neuroscience Studies) have linked with the German Perception and Action Group based at Philipps-Universität Marburg and Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen to form an international research training group (IRTG). Canadian students in this IRTG will participate in international research exchange projects and a rigorous academic/practical training program in topics related to the translation of neuroscience findings to real-world settings. They will also participate in industrial collaborations and knowledge mobilization workshops and courses (both at home and abroad), as well as research internships organized with partners ranging from major corporations to local research-oriented companies. This hands-on combination of experience in translating basic neuroscience to real-world discovery science and the non-academic sector will immediately accelerate the influence of neuroscience on industry and society, and will ensure that our trainees graduate with the theory, technical skills, and experience to meet a growing demand in the Canadian workforce. Our long term aim is to create a sustainable program of study and a new generation of applied neuroscientists who - unlimited by traditional academic borders - can address the big questions about integrative brain function and apply this approach to real- world problems/opportunities beyond academia.

大脑使人类能够通过将感知与行动融合在一起，与周围世界互动。这基本上是工作，沟通，运输和休闲的各个方面发挥作用的。加拿大在这个科学领域已经非常成功地投资了，因此我们现在被毒死，以在现实世界中为神经科学开发重要的实用应用。当前计划的目的是通过训练学生到1）将系统/认知神经科学实验室的标准方法和技术转化为现实世界中的自然行为，以及2）将这些发现应用于非学术领域。为了实现这些目标，加拿大行动和感知网络的调查人员（位于约克视觉研究中心，西方大脑和思想研究所以及皇后神经科学研究中心）与总部位于菲利普斯 - 诺瓦斯 - 诺瓦斯 - UniversitätMarburg和Justus-universitätmarburg和Justus-liebig-universitätgiessen组成的德国感知和行动小组联系在一起，以组建了国际研究培训。加拿大学生将参加国际研究交流项目，并在与神经科学发现转换为现实环境有关的主题中进行严格的学术/实践培训计划。他们还将参加工业合作和知识动员研讨会和课程（无论是在国内外），以及与合作伙伴组织的研究国际，从主要公司到本地研究的公司。将基本神经科学转化为现实发现科学和非学术部门的实践经验将立即加速神经科学对工业和社会的影响，并确保我们的学员以理论，技术技能和经验毕业，以满足加拿大劳动力中不断增长的需求。我们的长期目的是创建一个可持续的研究计划和新一代的应用神经科学家 - 他们无限制地被传统的学术边界所限制 - 可以解决有关综合脑功能的重大问题，并将这种方法应用于学术界以外的现实世界中的问题/机会。
