Grasping Neurons in the Ventral Premotor Cortex of Macaques Are Modulated by Social Goals

Although it is established that F5 neurons can distinguish between nonsocial goals such as bringing food to the mouth for eating or placing it in a container, it is not clear whether they discriminate between social and nonsocial goals. Here, we …

Learning to grasp and extract affordances: the Integrated Learning of Grasps and Affordances (ILGA) model

The activity of certain parietal neurons has been interpreted as encoding affordances (directly perceivable opportunities) for grasping. Separate computational models have been developed for infant grasp learning and affordance learning, but no …
