Action and Cognition Lab

Lab Head: Dr Paul Bays


Our research seeks to understand how the brain processes information arriving from the sensory organs (such as the eyes, ears, and skin), and how this sensory information is used to plan and control movement.

We conduct tests of perception, memory, and motor control on healthy volunteers, as well as experiments involving people whose normal brain function has been disrupted by a stroke or other brain injury. Our goal is to identify the computational mechanisms underlying sensory control of action, and relate them to the neural processes by which they are implemented in the nervous system.
