Agency
When does an unfamiliar consequence still feel like the result of my action?
Altered Physics
If the laws of the world change, how quickly can the mind change with them?
Gravity and familiar physical relationships act as powerful priors for perception and action.
ibiLab builds environments in which those priors can be experimentally altered.
When Physics Changes, Can the Mind Change With It?
Prediction
How quickly does the nervous system update expectations about motion and force?
Physical Reasoning
Can a new physical rule become intuitive rather than consciously calculated?
Transfer
Does adaptation through movement influence higher-order reasoning and problem-solving?
Experimental Conditions
- 0g
- Low-g
