Developing grounded representations for robots through the principles of sensorimotor coordination [PDF]

, 2014
Robots currently recognise and use objects through algorithms that are hand-coded or specifically trained. Such robots can operate in known, structured environments but cannot learn to recognise or use novel objects as they appear.

Psychological principles of successful aging technologies: A mini-review [PDF]

, 2008
Based on resource-oriented conceptions of successful life-span development, we propose three principles for evaluating assistive technology: (a) net resource release; (b) person specificity, and (c) proximal versus distal frames of evaluation. We discuss

Impaired motor inhibition during perceptual inhibition in older, but not younger adults: a psychophysiological study

Scientific Reports
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) governs the ability to rapidly cancel planned movements when no longer appropriate (motor inhibition) and ignore distracting stimuli (perceptual inhibition).

Sensorimotor environment but not task rule reconfigures population dynamics in rhesus monkey posterior parietal cortex

The dataset consists of several hundred single-neuron recordings from multiple rhesus monkeys performing visually guided reaching tasks. It was designed to test whether changes in the environment (sensorimotor feedback) and changes in abstract rule ...

Sensorimotor agency

, 2017
An enactive sensorimotor approach to perception places the agent at the center of the engagements that constitute a perceptual act. The notion of agency required, however, cannot be based solely on an organism’s biological well-being.

Computations underlying sensorimotor learning. [PDF]

, 2015
The study of sensorimotor learning has a long history. With the advent of innovative techniques for studying learning at the behavioral and computational levels new insights have been gained in recent years into how the sensorimotor system acquires ...

Flexible and Stable Value Coding Areas in Caudate Head and Tail Receive Anatomically Distinct Cortical and Subcortical Inputs

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2017
Anatomically distinct areas within the basal ganglia encode flexible- and stable-value memories for visual objects (Hikosaka et al., 2014), but an important question remains: do they receive inputs from the same or different brain areas or neurons?

Sensorimotor Life

, 2017
This book elaborates a series of contributions to a non–representational theory of action and perception. It is based on current theoretical developments in the enactive approach to life and mind.

Structures of sensorimotor engagement

, 2017
The idea of lawful relations between sensory and motor patterns, or sensorimotor contingencies (SMCs), lies at the heart of sensorimotor approaches to perception. Yet despite the concept’s importance, surprisingly few attempts have been made to define it

Teucrium Polium ameliorates amyloid β-induced brain network disorders in rats: electrophysiological and behavioral studies

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies
Synaptic failure in specific cholinergic networks in rat brains has been implicated in amyloid β-induced neurodegeneration. Teucrium polium is a promising candidate for drug development against Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and similar disorders. However, the
