|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:
|The main purpose of dealing with external information from animal brains is to make movements that can change the condition of animal themselves or the environment. As a result, the brain areas that are responsible for processing various sensory perceptions, are closely related to neural networks and functional interactions of the brain areas that are responsible for planning and executing. The Action and Cognition Laboratory was founded by Dr. Eric Chang in 2006, the research focuses on exploring the characteristics of human behaviour control and the brain mechanisms of influencing these characteristics. Under the general orientation, below are research topics we are currently running:
|-
|-
|1. 障礙物(obstacles)對手部伸展觸物(reaching)或抓取物體(grasping)動作之影響
|1. The influence of obstacles on reaching or grasping
|-
|-
|2. 意識狀態對於動作促發效果(action priming)之影響
|2. The influence of conscious state on action priming 
|-
|-
|3. 空間巡行能力(spatial navigation)以及其腦部機制之性別與年齡差異
|3. The differences between gender and age of spatial navigation and other brain mechanism
|-
|-
|4. 動作與空間和非空間表徵之對應(spatial vs. non-spatial motor mapping)能力之性別差異
|4. The gender difference of spatial vs. non-spatial motor mapping
|-
|-
|5. 老化對於工作記憶中央執行功能(central executive function of working memory)之訓練與轉移(training and transfer)的影響
|5. The influence of central executive function of working memory on training and transfer in the elders 
|-
|-
|6. 眼睛凝視方向(gaze)對於空間注意力偏移(orienting of spatial attention)影響之性別差異
|6. The gender difference of gaze direction on orienting of spatial attention
|-
|-
|在行為觀察記錄方面,行動與認知實驗室內現在配置有[[PhaseSpace]]運動擷取系統一套 ,可以即時(online)將肢體在三度空間中的位置數位化,供研究者分析肢體動態。由於探討人類動作控制的實驗需要呈現實物,實驗室內配置有[[Plato能見度切換眼鏡]],可以由電腦控制其鏡片透光性,進而控制受試者看見動作目標的時間點。
|In terms of observing and recording behaviour, our lab now has [[PhaseSpace]] systems for motion tracking and position sensing, which could digitised the limb performance as 3D position online for examiners to analyse body movements. Due to needs of displaying actual items for the experiments of exploring human behaviour control, our lab equipped [[Plato Visual Occlusion Spectacles]], which are able to change rapidly between transparent and light scattering and further control the timing of when visual information is presented to an experimental subject.

|在腦部機制的探討方面,行動與認知實驗室與[[台北榮總的整合性腦功能實驗室]]合作使用功能性核磁共振掃描技術,探討空間巡行能力與工作記憶之腦部區域;同時也與本所認知電生理實驗室和[[交通大學腦科學研究中心]]合作,結合虛擬實境和腦電波頻譜分析技術,探討與空間巡行能力相關之腦部電位變化。
| In relation to exploring the brain mechanism, our lab has been cooperating with [[Integrated Brain Research Unit from Taipei Veterans General Hospital]] for fMRI techniques, exploring brain areas of spatial navigation and working memory. We have also been collaborating with [[Brain Research Centre from National Chiao Tung University]] for the technique of combining virtual reality with analysis of brainwave frequencies, which exploring the changes of brain potential that relates to spatial navigation.
