This special issue of Cognitive Neuropsychology aims at providing a forum for empirical and theoretical research on the integration of perceptual and motor processes in the human mind. The initiative originated at a workshop on “Integrative approaches to perception and action” (Trieste, 27 October, 2006), a satellite event to the 14th Kanizsa Lecture. The 2006 lecture addressed the architecture of human vision from a broad perspective, reviewing a range of neuropsychological, imaging, and behavioural data to reveal the organization of visual pathways and relate it to the functions of vision. The satellite workshop presented alternative views and additional empirical findings, providing an exciting backdrop for the lecture. The number of valuable insights that ensued encouraged us to develop the project into a collection of printed papers. This special issue is the outcome of this process. Historically, the cognitive sciences have used the adjective “integrative” in different ways. The earliest dates back at least to the publication of Sherrington’s classic, The Integrative Action of the Nervous System (Sherrington, 1906), which aimed at studying how separate organs and body parts are brought together into a unified, organized organism by the workings of the nervous system. The integrative phenomena that came under Sherrington’s scrutiny were limited by his emphasis on reflexes as units of integration and by his corresponding interest in animal preparations displaying reflex behaviour (Levine, 2007). However, there is little doubt that understanding how different brain mechanisms relate to one another and to other bodily mechanisms, such as those mediating actions, remains central to contemporary cognitive science. A second sense refers to the need of integrating different levels of explanation when studying the mind/brain. Indeed, the idea that approaches limited to a single level of analysis do not suffice to unravel how the brain works forms the core dictum of integrative neuroscience

通过认知神经心理学整合感知和行动（广义）

本期《认知神经心理学》特刊旨在为人类思维中感知和运动过程整合的经验和理论研究提供一个论坛。该倡议起源于“感知和行动的综合方法”研讨会（的里雅斯特，2006 年 10 月 27 日），这是第 14 届 Kanizsa 讲座的卫星活动。2006 年的讲座从广泛的角度讨论了人类视觉的架构，回顾了一系列神经心理学、成像和行为数据，以揭示视觉通路的组织并将其与视觉功能联系起来。卫星研讨会提出了不同的观点和额外的实证结果，为讲座提供了令人兴奋的背景。随之而来的大量宝贵见解鼓励我们将该项目发展为印刷论文集。这个特殊问题是这个过程的结果。从历史上看，认知科学以不同的方式使用形容词“综合”。最早的至少可以追溯到谢林顿的经典著作《神经系统的综合作用》（谢林顿，1906 年）的出版，该书旨在研究不同的器官和身体部位如何通过神经系统的运作而结合成一个统一的、有组织的有机体。神经系统。谢林顿审查的整合现象受到他对反射作为整合单位的强调以及他对显示反射行为的动物制剂的相应兴趣的限制（Levine，2007）。然而，毫无疑问，了解不同的大脑机制如何相互关联以及与其他身体机制（例如那些中介行为）仍然是当代认知科学的核心。第二种意义是指在研究心智/大脑时需要整合不同层次的解释。事实上，方法仅限于单一分析水平的想法不足以解开大脑如何工作的想法，这构成了综合神经科学的核心格言
