An important new chapter suggests a structural basis for linking perception and action, supplying supporting evidence for a link often overlooked in current views of perceptual processing.
This has both theoretical and methodological implications for future research on climate perception and illuminates the challenge of linking perception to effective mitigation and adaptation.
By linking perception of objects and events with emotions, that is, with the evaluation of the possible impact, a mechanism is found that enables us to act and react on complex situations.
For instance, one study I found used MRI scans to compare male and female brain connectivity and discovered that the typical male brain is neurologically wired to be more logical, and thus is more effective at linking perception with action.
Several of the Rpf proteins are involved in an intercellular signal-response system that links perception of the diffusible signal factor (DSF) cis-11-methyl-2-dodecenoic acid [78] to the regulation of virulence factor synthesis and biofilm dispersal.
The recruitment of tectal assemblies appears to link perception to action by providing the premotor commands that release hunting responses.
Recruitment of small tectal assemblies appears to link perception to action by providing the premotor commands that release hunting responses.
This approach promotes learning as a social process supported by brain networks which link perception and action.
Therefore, to understand how sensorimotor circuits link perception to action, it is necessary to monitor neural activity and behavior simultaneously.
In almost all of these studies, the main focus is on imitation as a learning mechanism which links perception to action in an artificial agent.
