News: What exactly does it mean to be in “the flow” as an athlete? Can we make it happen or do we just need to let it happen? Is it really true that skill acquisition is a single process that strives for low variability and is constrained by the speed-accuracy tradeoff?

A discussion with Cathy Craig, Professor of Perception & Action Psychology at Queen’s University Belfast. We discuss topics including understanding and improvement movement in areas including pre-mature infants, soccer and Parkinson’s disease; how rugby players deceive their opponent; developing VR systems for training and research; and how we can learn a lot about perception from studying the rare instances when it fails.
