Abstract

In perception science, an alternative to focusing on individualsensory systems is to describe the environment to be perceived. Wefocus on the emergent dynamics of human-environment interactions asan important category of the environment to be perceived. We arguethat information about such dynamics is available in subtle patternsof movement variability that, of necessity, stimulate multiplesensory systems.
