|動物大腦處理外界訊息的主要目的，是要產生動作以改變動物自身或外界環境的狀態。因此大腦中處理各種感官知覺的區域，都與負責計畫和執行運動的區域之間有密切的神經網路連結與功能上的互動。行動與認知實驗室由張智宏副教授於2006年設立，其研究方向在於探索人類在行動控制上的特性，以及影響這些特性的腦部機制為何。在這個大方向下，目前有以下的研究主題在進行中：

About ACL@NCU

Founded in 2007, the Action and Cognition Laboratory (ACL) focuses on exploring the characteristics of human action control and the underlying brain mechanisms. 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. Applications of feature extraction and machine learning in neuroimaging and magneto/electrophysiology.

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.

As for examining the brain mechanism, ACL has been cooperating with Integrated Brain Research Unit from Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Imaging Center of the National Yang-Ming University, and the Taiwan Mind and Brain Imaging Center of the National Cheng-Chi University for fMRI techniques to explore brain areas of spatial navigation, central executive functions, and motor learning processes. We have also been collaborating with Brain Research Centre from National Chiao Tung University for combining virtual reality with analysis of EEG time-frequency information.
