Novel plasticity rule can explain the development of sensorimotor intelligence
2015
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Without specifying any purpose or goal, seemingly purposeful and adaptive behavior is developed, displaying a certain level of sensorimotor intelligence. ...
We propose differential extrinsic plasticity (DEP) as a new synaptic rule for self-learning systems and apply it to a number of complex robotic systems as a test case. ...
We gratefully acknowledge the hospitality and discussions in the group of Nihat Ay. We thank Michael Herrmann, Anna Levina, Sacha Sokoloski, and Sophie Fessl for helpful comments. G. ...

Acting Up: An Approach to the Study of Cognitive Development
[chapter]
2016
The Pragmatic Turn
Despite decades of research, we lack a comprehensive framework to study and explain cognitive development. ...

Self-directedness, integration and higher cognition
2004
Language Sciences
This account helps explain situated cognition phenomena in humans because the integrative processes by which the brain adapts to control interaction are relatively agnostic concerning the source of the ...
Thus, from the perspective of the motor control system using a tool is not fundamentally different to simply controlling an arm. ...

Self-Directedness: A Process Approach to Cognition
[chapter]
2003
Process Theories
In order to capture this, theories of cognition must shift from a structural rule-defined conception of cognition to a thoroughgoing embedded process approach. ...
Standard approaches to cognition emphasise structures (representations and rules) much more than processes, in part because this appears to be necessary to capture the normative features of cognition. ...

Computational neurorehabilitation: modeling plasticity and learning to predict recovery
2016
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation
We argue that a fundamental understanding of neurologic recovery, and as a result accurate predictions at the individual level, will be facilitated by developing computational models of the salient neural ...
We first explain how the emergence of robotics and wearable sensors for rehabilitation is providing data that make development and testing of such models increasingly feasible. ...

Neurorobots as a Means Toward Neuroethology and Explainable AI
2020
Frontiers in Neurorobotics
We suggest that using neurorobots as a form of computational neuroethology can be a powerful methodology for understanding neuroscience, as well as for artificial intelligence and machine learning. ...
Moreover, a neuroroboticist has total control over the network, and by analyzing different neural groups or studying the effect of network perturbations (e.g., simulated lesions), they may be able to explain ...
