About ACL@NCU
| The Action and Cognition Laboratory was founded by Dr. Erik Chang in 2007, the research focuses on exploring the characteristics of human behavioural control and the brain mechanisms of influencing these characteristics. Ongoing research topics in ACL include: |
| 1. Life span changes in motor control and higher cognitive functions |
| 2. Influence of cognitive and physical training on brain/behavioral plasticity |
| 3. Hypnotic modulations on motor control and numerical cognition |
| 4. Individual difference in human spatial navigation |
|
| To observe and record human movements in 3D space, a 6 camera PhaseSpace motion capture system is available in ACL, which could digitize effector positions online for analyzing kinematics. To study hand-object interactions, ACL is also equipped with a set of Plato Visual Occlusion Spectacles, which are able to change rapidly between transparent and light scattering status for optimally control timing of the real visual object. |
