My am interested in learning how the human visual system processes visual information to allow successful interactions with the environment. We combine computational methods and behavioral studies to understand what are the visual features that establish the mapping between vision and action. We propose that perception and action form a coordinated system: Perception informs action about the state of the world and, in turn, action shapes perception by signaling when it is faulty. Through this integrated approach, quite distinct from most investigations on perception and motor control, we seek to understand the visual encoding of 3D object properties, the visuomotor mapping, and the plasticity of the motor mapping and visual encoding of 3D information.
