title: Symmetry and the devil.
abstract: F. Mechsner (2004) bases his argument for the primacy of perception on a simplified interpretation of phase transition findings. The authors show that attention to the details of phase transition analysis, as well as consideration of findings from steady-state experiments and the tools of symmetry theory, necessitate a theory of bimanual coordination that includes both perceptual and motor processes.
