A new long review chapter provides a survey over the five component processes that need to be in place in order to direct a reaching movement toward a perceived object. The conceptual review is accompanied by a simple exemplary mathematical model that is framed in terms of neural dynamics. The chapter emphasizes developmental issues and is part of a book on the development of goal-directed behaviors in infancy and childhood. Here the link to the chapter: link
The Institut für Neuroinformatik (INI) is a research unit of the Faculties of Computer Science and Medicine at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Its scientific goal is to understand the fundamental principles through which organisms generate behavior and cognition while linked to their environments through sensory and effector systems. Inspired by our insights into such natural cognitive systems, we seek new solutions to problems of information processing in artificial cognitive systems. We draw from a variety of disciplines that include experimental psychology and neurophysiology as well as machine learning, neural artificial intelligence, computer vision, and robotics.
