Traditionally the motor system was thought of as a movement output device that, after brain
damage, can impede patients from correctly planning and executing an action. In the last 20 …

Cognitive embodiment refers to the hypothesis that cognitive processes of all kinds are
rooted in perception and action. Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience revealed that the …

In analyses of the motor system, two hierarchies are often posited: The first—the action
hierarchy—is a decomposition of an action into subactions and sub-subactions. The second …

The phrase perception and action is used widely but in diverse ways in the context of the
relationship between perceptual and motor processes. This review describes and integrates …

The study of the neural correlates of motor behaviour at the systems level has received
increasing consideration in recent years. One emerging observation from this research is …

This chapter has three purposes:(1) to provide a selective review and overview of current
issues in motor control;(2) to argue for use of the metaphor of a distributed processing …

Research in the field of psychology and cognitive neuroscience has begun to explore the
functional underpinnings of voluntary actions and how they differ from stimulus-driven …

Traditional theories of motor control view it as a serial process of planning and execution
situated at the end of a larger serial process of perceptual representation and cognitive …

Objective We used functional brain imaging to reevaluate Luria's postulates and to elaborate
the neural circuitry underlying performance of complex motor tasks. Background The …

Some years ago, we proposed, along with others, that the isomorphism between models of
information processing by stages and the organization of neural pathways connecting …
