The Perception & Action Podcast

A look at visual channeling theory and its consequences for perception. Why are some people blind to approaching objects in certain areas of their visual field and what implications does it have for sport?

The Charles F. Prentice Award Lecture 1990: specific tests and specific blindnesses: keys, locks, and parallel processing

Visual field defects for unidirectional and oscillatory motion in depth

Impaired Velocity Processing Reveals an Agnosia for Motion in Depth

My report from the Sports Biometrics Conference held from Nov 13-15, 2016. Issues discussed include validity of analytics data, whether athletes are going to agree to be continuously monitored and the frequent disconnect between science and practice.

News: A look at a few recent articles examining the effects of anxiety and pressure on performance and methods for counteracting these effects. Does pressure effect the planning or online control of movements? Could increasing anxiety in practice benefit motor learning? What are holistic goals and how can they reduce pressure effects?

Articles:

The interaction between practice and performance pressure on the planning and control of fast target directed movement

Perceptual-motor learning benefits from increased stress and anxiety

Anxiety and motor performance: More evidence for the effectiveness of holistic process goals as a solution to the process goal paradox

Why do we have two eyes? Is binocular vision necessary for successful performance of motor actions like those involved in sports and driving? Or is it just redundant information? What is it like to live with just one eye?
