Emergence and Categorization of Coordinated Visual Behavior Through Embodied Interaction
This paper discusses the emergence of sensorimotor coordination for ESCHeR, a 4DOF redundant foveated rob ot-head, by interaction with its environment. A feedback-error-learning(FEL)-based distributed control ...

Early motor development from partially ordered neural-body dynamics: experiments with a cortico-spinal-musculo-skeletal model
Early human motor development has the nature of spontaneous exploration and boot-strap learning, leading to open-ended acquisition of versatile flexible motor skills. Since dexterous motor skills often exploit...

Creating and modulating rhythms by controlling the physics of the body
The motion behaviors of vertebrates require the correct coordination of the muscles and of the body limbs even for the most stereotyped ones like the rhythmical patterns. It means that the neural circuits have...

Image Annotation and Retrieval for Weakly Labeled Images Using Conceptual Learning
One of the most promising new technologies for widespread application is image annotation and retrieval. Nevertheless, this task is very difficult to accomplish as target images differ significantly in appeara...

Partial matching of real textured 3D objects using color cubic higher-order local auto-correlation features
In recent years, the need for retrieving real 3D objects has grown significantly. However, various important considerations must be taken into account to solve the real 3D object retrieval problem. Three-dimen...

Open AccessAn Embodied Brain Model of the Human Foetus
Cortical learning via sensorimotor experiences evoked by bodily movements begins as early as the foetal period. However, the learning mechanisms by which sensorimotor experiences guide cortical learning remain...

Open AccessTactile feedback for relief of deafferentation pain using virtual reality system: a pilot study
Previous studies have tried to relieve deafferentation pain (DP) by using virtual reality rehabilitation systems. However, the effectiveness of multimodal sensory feedback was not validated. The objective of t...

Developmental changes in intralimb coordination during spontaneous movements of human infants from 2 to 3 months of age
Human infants show a variety of spontaneous movements in the first few months of life. Although the pattern of spontaneous movements changes at approximately 2 months of age, the precise mechanism that governs...

Open AccessA translational model to determine rodent’s age from human foetal age
To understand the prenatal origin of developmental and psychiatric disorders, studies in laboratory animals are imperative. However, the developmental pace differs between humans and animals; hence, correspond...

Open AccessSpecies-specific Posture of Human Foetus in Late First Trimester
The ontogeny associated with the arm-hanging posture, which is considered ape-specific, remains unknown. To examine its ontogeny, we measured foetal movements of 62 human foetuses aged 10–20 gestation weeks us...

Open AccessStapedial reflex threshold predicts individual loudness tolerance for people with autistic spectrum disorders
People with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently show the symptoms of oversensitivity to sound (hyperacusis). Although the previous studies have investigated methods for quantifying hyperacusis in ASD, ap...

Open AccessReward sensitivity differs depending on global self-esteem in value-based decision-making
Global self-esteem is a component of individual personality that impacts decision-making. Many studies have discussed the different preferences for decision-making in response to threats to a person’s self-con...

Open AccessRespiratory entrainment of the locus coeruleus modulates arousal level to avoid physical risks from external vibration
Slow rocking chairs can easily put people to sleep, while violent shaking, such as during earthquakes, may lead to rapid awakening. However, the influence of external body vibrations on arousal remains unclear...
