Description Clinical neuropsychology has evolved by integrating in its field the knowledge derived from neuroanatomical, electrophysiological and
psychophysical data, and has led to the development of rehabilitation tools.
This volume tries to link the new concepts and discoveries
in the field of sensorimotor coordination. It contains the main contributions of participants of an international symposium held in Lyon
in 2001 entitled "Neural control of space coding and action production". The book emphasizes the reciprocal relationship between perception
and action, and the essential role of active sensorimotor organization or reorganization in building up perceptual and motor representations
of the self and of the external world.
