Description
Living organisms adapt their response to the environment through the perception of external physical stimuli, such as light or gravity. Understanding how organisms integrate environmental information to organize their behaviors is a fundamental question at all scales of life, from simple cells to group of organisms.
I propose a coherent framework for perceptual interactions coupling generalized models and virtual reality experiments. I will detail how we can build minimal models to relate perception and movements, with an approach based on field theory. Because of the geometric nature of vision, it then appears as a good starting point to explore the relationship between sensory information and behaviors. I will then show how the design of environments in Virtual Reality make it possible to measure and control the behavior of individuals with computer-generated environment.
