This volume focuses on the interplay of mind and motion-the
bidirectional link between thought and action. In particular, it
investigates the implications that this coupling has for decision
making. How do we anticipate the consequences of choices and how is
the brain able to represent these choice options and their
potential consequences? How are different options evaluated and how
is a preferred option selected and implemented? This volume
addresses these questions not only through an extensive body of
knowledge consisting of individual chapters by international
experts, but also through integrative group reports that pave a
runway into the future. The understanding of how people make
decisions is of common interest to experts working in fields such
as psychology, economics, movement science, cognitive neuroscience,
neuroinformatics, robotics, and sport science. So far, however, it
has mainly been advanced in isolation within distinct research
disciplines; in contrast, this book results from a deliberate
assembly of multidisciplinary teams. It offers intense, focused,
and genuine interdisciplinary perspective. It conveys
state-of-the-art and outlines future research directions on the hot
topic of Mind and Motion (or embodied cognition). It includes
contributions from psychologists, neuroscientists, movement
scientists, economists, and others.
