Crossmodal learning in a neurobotic cortical and midbrain model
(from 2016)
The goals of project A5 are (1) to develop novel neurocomputational techniques to improve our understanding of the superior colliculus (SC) and linked cortical areas; (2) to design and implement a self-organizing audiovisual model of these cortico-collicular networks in a physical robot; and (3) to compare both the model’s neural activity and the robot’s physical behaviour to the neural activity and physical behaviour of humans. The project will produce a novel computational architecture that can direct a robot’s gaze in a natural way to relevant stimuli.
