Abstract
We designed an object interception task using virtual reality and mobile brain/body imaging to test two core hypotheses of ecological psychology and radical embodied cognitive (neuro)science: the ecological resonance hypothesis and the information-based control laws hypothesis. These two hypotheses define an alternative explanatory strategy that aims to understand the organization and control of behavior without appealing to internal models or representations of any kind. The ecological resonance hypothesis was evaluated in relation to the ecological variable known as tau (τ) or time-to-contact (TTC). Concurrently, the hypothesis of information-based control laws was investigated by examining the τ-coupling control law. The results of the study show ecological resonance to τ along with τ-coupling between stimulation, behavior, and neural activity, therefore offering support to both hypotheses.
期刊介绍：
Founded in 1964, Psychophysiology is the most established journal in the world specifically dedicated to the dissemination of psychophysiological science. The journal continues to play a key role in advancing human neuroscience in its many forms and methodologies (including central and peripheral measures), covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Typically, studies published in Psychophysiology include psychological independent variables and noninvasive physiological dependent variables (hemodynamic, optical, and electromagnetic brain imaging and/or peripheral measures such as respiratory sinus arrhythmia, electromyography, pupillography, and many others). The majority of studies published in the journal involve human participants, but work using animal models of such phenomena is occasionally published. Psychophysiology welcomes submissions on new theoretical, empirical, and methodological advances in: cognitive, affective, clinical and social neuroscience, psychopathology and psychiatry, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, and methodological papers, with submissions welcome from scientists in any fields mentioned above.
