Concepts inThe origin and design of intentional affordances

Affordance

An affordance is a quality of an object, or an environment, which allows an individual to perform an action. For example, a knob affords twisting, and perhaps pushing, while a cord affords pulling. The term is used in a variety of fields: perceptual psychology, cognitive psychology, environmental psychology, industrial design, human¿computer interaction (HCI), interaction design, instructional design and artificial intelligence.  more from Wikipedia

Neurophysiology (from Greek ¿¿¿¿¿¿, neuron, "nerve"; ¿¿¿¿¿, physis, "nature, origin"; and -¿¿¿¿¿, -logia) is a part of physiology. Neurophysiology is the study of nervous system function. The primary tools of basic neurophysiological research include electrophysiological recordings such as patch clamp and calcium imaging, as well as some of the common tools of molecular biology.  more from Wikipedia
