Dissemination of knowledge in these domains through application, training and consultancy. Training of researchers both in applied and in fundamental research in the areas indicated, and in artificial intelligence, and psychonomics. NICI research is organized in 6 divisions, which are characterized here short by their specialisms. In this division models are developed for human psycholinguistic behaviour. Motor Function and Rehabilitation Major themes are reaching, grasping, locomotion, speech, handwriting, motor disorders, and theories of stress and movement behaviour.
Applicated projects focus on psychomotor rehabilitation.
This division conducts multidisciplinary research into visual and auditory information processing. Psychophysical methods, empirical paradigms, and integrative theoretical frameworks are elaborated, in order to develop formal models of the building-up, the structure, and the functionality, of perceptual organizations. This division does research on the biological foundations of cognitive functions in animals and human subjects, specifically focusing on the electrophysiological, neurochemical, and pharmacological correlates of cognitive aspects of information processing.
