A neurocognitive approach to self-organisation of verb actions

摘要

Our approach integrates some neuroscience evidence for regional distributed modularity with cognitive evidence for action verb processing. The long-term goal is to provide a computational model for a neurally inspired self-organising robot action control system. Regional modularity in the brain involves distributed neural networks in diverse regions processing in a parallel manner. According to neurocognitive findings, action verbs are processed by associating specific cell assemblies with the appropriate body part. We present a model of the neurocognitive findings using self-organising networks that cluster action verbs into different locations or the network dependent on the body part they are associated with.
