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.
我们设计了一项使用虚拟现实和移动脑/身体成像技术的物体拦截任务，以检验生态心理学和激进具身认知（神经）科学的两个核心假设：生态共振假设和基于信息的控制定律假设。这两个假设定义了一种替代解释策略，旨在理解行为的组织和控制，而无需诉诸任何形式的内部模型或表征。生态共振假设是根据被称为tau（τ）或接触时间（TTC）的生态变量进行评估的。同时，通过研究τ耦合控制定律来探究基于信息的控制定律假设。研究结果表明，存在与τ的生态共振以及刺激、行为和神经活动之间的τ耦合，因此为这两个假设提供了支持。
