Self-organizing maps for visual feature representation based on natural binocular stimuli
We model the stimulus-induced development of the topography of the primary visual cortex. The analysis uses a self-organizing Kohonen model based on high-dimensional coding. It all...

Learning cortical topography from spatiotemporal stimuli
Abstract. Stimulus representation is a functional interpretation of early sensory cortices. Early sensory cortices are subject to stimulus-induced modi

Haptic interaction with virtual objects
This paper considers interaction of the human arm with ``virtual'' objects simulated mechanically by a planar robot. Haptic perception of spatial properties of objects is...

An emergent mechanism of selective visual attention in Drosophila
Due to the limited computational capacity of visual systems and the limited capacity to perform several mental operations at once, animals only select a small proportion of the sti...

Analysis of a distributed model of leg coordination
Using tools from discrete dynamical systems theory, we begin a systematic analysis of a distributed model of leg coordination with both biological and robotic applications. In this...

Cerebellar learning of accurate predictive control for fast-reaching movements
Long conduction delays in the nervous system prevent the accurate control of movements by feedback control alone. We present a new, biologically plausible cerebellar model to study...

Legged insects select the optimal locomotor pattern based on the energetic cost
The gait transition in legged animals has attracted many researchers, and its relation to metabolic cost and mechanical work has been discussed in recent decades. We assumed that t...

Predictions derived from modelling the hippocampal role in navigation
A computational model of the lesion and single unit data from navigation in rats is reviewed. The model uses external (visual) and internal (odometric) information from the environ...
