The Canadian Action and Perception Network (CAPnet) is a
neuroscience research consortium led by members of the York
Centre for Vision Research (Toronto), the Western
Brain and Mind Institute (London Ont.), Queen's Centre
for Neuroscience (Kingston), the McGill Integrated Program in
Neuroscience (Montreal), et le Groupe de Recherche sur le
Systeme Nerveux Central (University of Montreal). CAPnet celebrates
Canada's international leadership and close knit community in the
neuroscience of action and perception.
The mandate of CAPnet is to promote major collaborative projects in the
area of action and perception, both between the core member
universities and with their academic, clinical, and industrial partners.
Most of the human brain is involved in processes related to sensation,
perception, and movement control, so to study this topic is really to
study how the brain works. Conversely, most disorders, diseases, and
injuries of the central nervous system -currently affecting about one
billion people worldwide- disrupt these processes in some way. The
long-term goal of CAPnet is to understand how the brain allows most
people to perceive and move in the world - and how we might help the
people who have trouble with these basic functions.
