This thesis presents possible computational mechanisms by which a humanoid robot can develop a coherent representation of the space within its reach (its peripersonal space), and use it to control its movements. Those mechanisms are inspired by current the ...
Perceptual learning is learning to perceive. For example, a radiologist is able to easily identify anomalies in medical images only after extended training. Theoretical and psychophysical studies [1-12] suggest that such improvements of performance are acc ...
Multimodal signal processing analyzes a physical phenomenon through several types of measures, or modalities. This leads to the extraction of higher-quality and more reliable information than that obtained from single-modality signals. The advantage is two ...
Sensory processing, sensorimotor integration and motor control are amongst the most basic functions of the brain and yet our understanding of how the underlying neuronal networks operate and contribute to behaviour is very limited. The relative simplicity ...
Multimodal signal processing is an important new field that processes signals from a variety of modalities - speech, vision, language, text- derived from one source, which aids human-computer and human-human interaction. The overarching theme of this book ...
The movement of an organism typically provides an observer with information in more than one sensory modality. The integration of information modalities reduces the likelihood that the observer will be confronted with a scene that is perceptually ambiguous ...
The mammalian neocortex is one of the most complex brain areas, integrating all sensory modalities and allowing the animal to perform high level cognitive operations. Despite some cytoarchitectural specializations, the general neocortical structure is rema ...
Imitation is a fundamental mechanism by which humans learn and understand the actions of others. This thesis addresses the low-level neural mechanisms underlying the imitation of meaningless gestures, using tools from computational neuroscience. We investi ...
The human brain analyzes a visual object first by basic feature detectors. On the objects way to a conscious percept, these features are integrated in subsequent stages of the visual hierarchy. The time course of this feature integration is largely unknown ...

The tendency to perceive faces in random patterns exhibiting configural properties of faces is an example of pareidolia. Perception of 'real' faces has been associated with a cortical response signal arising at approximately 170 ms after stimulus onset, bu ...
