The Perception & Action Podcast
The Perception & Action Podcast explores how psychological research can be applied to improving performance, accelerating skill acquisition, and designing new technologies in sports and other high-performance domains. Hosted by Rob Gray, a professor of Human Systems Engineering at Arizona State University, the show reviews basic concepts and discusses the latest research in these areas. It is aimed at listeners interested in the science behind movement, perception, and expert performance.
