Madhur Mangalam is Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomechanics at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, USA. His research interests include nonlinear dynamical principles governing perception-action and embodied/embedded cognition and the development of nonlinear analytical methods that can aid in discovering these principles. Alen Hajnal is Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Southern Mississippi, USA. Dr. Hajnal studies the interaction between body movements and perception in relation to the ecological theory of affordances. Damian G. Kelty-Stephen is Faculty Member at the Psychology Department at the State University of New York at New Paltz, USA. His research interests include perception-action relationships, embodied/embedded cognition, and the nonlinear dynamics that link them together.
