Course A : Motor behaviour and nervous system
Licence 1st year
The hierarchical organization of the central nervous system is dealt with, in connexion with its functional role for different types of motor behaviour.
Keywords: central nervous system, cortical and subcortical structures, brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord, motor skills. |
Course B : Sensory integration and perceptual processes
Licence 2nd year
Issues related to multisensory integration processes are discussed and related to the emergence of perception, also subjected to cognitive modulations.
Keywords: senses, integration process, multisensory, perception, cognitive expectations and experience. |
Course C : Lifespan development of sensorimotor skills
Licence 2nd year
This course aims at providing the basics of sensorimotor development from the first embryonic stages to the aging consequences.
Keywords: growth, maturation, differentiation, flexibility, plasticity, postural and locomotor skills, visuomotor integration, coordination, sensorimotor aging. |
Course D : Spatial orientation and disorientation
Master 1st year
Up-to-date theories related to the neuropsychological processes underlying the perceived orientation and disorientation in space are presented and illustrated by different spatial illusions mediated by specific sensory and cognitive cues.
Keywords: multisensory integration, spatial illusions, gravito-inertial perturbations, perceptual expectations, reference frames. |
