Position perception, attention, object motion, and action

该研究将实现对位置视觉感知的神经处理以及相关行为限制的更深入理解。这将为开发一系列技术以帮助残疾人和老年人奠定基础。结果将有助于揭示对移动物体的感知与视觉引导运动的能力之间的联系。这种联系将有利于车辆和道路系统工程以及远程呈现系统设计等领域。第一个应用可能是脑损伤的康复和随着年龄的增长而下降的心理功能。

The research will achieve a deeper understanding of the neural processing of the visual perception of position, and of the associated behavioural limits. This will provide a foundation for the development of a range of technologies to assist disabled and elderly people. The results will help reveal the link between the perception of moving objects and the capacity for visually guided movement. This link will benefit areas such as engineering of vehicles and road systems, and the design of telepresence systems. The first applications are likely to be in the rehabilitation of brain injury and the decline of mental function with age.
