Principles of computation for visuo-motor transformation in the brain: combined experimental and modelling approaches

Objective



At the junction between the Robotics approach and the Neuroscience approach of motor control, additional theoretical work is obviously needed in mechanics, biomechanics and neural network control systems, in order to get further insight in both biological and artificial control systems.
This interface is now developped by A.A.FROLOV specialist in Biomechanics and Neural Network modelling, together with his colleagues
E.V.BIRJUKOVA V.ROSCHIN I.P.MURAVIEV.

We want to collaborate with the EEC"Human and Capital Mobility" network CHRX-CT93-0267, (coord.Y.BURNOD) which is implied in experimental and modelling approaches of the human cerebral cortex when performing visually-guided reaching tasks.

We have already collaborated with researchers of this EEC "Human Capital and Mobility" project: Yves BURNOD, the coordinator which is specialist in connexionnist modelling of the human cerebral cortex and Michel DUFOSSE, participant of the EEC project, who studies the connectivity between cerebral cortex and the cerebellum and its role during visually guided reaching movements (BIRJUKOVA et al., 1988; ALLEMAND et al., 1993; FROLOV et al., 1993).

The long term goal of this research and development is to make a multipurpose anthropomorphic robot of high mobility. The creation of such robots inculdes solutions of fundamentally different scientific, engineering and economic problems.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
