| summary | I will present a hypothesis for closed-loop perception (CLP) that is mostly based on data collected from the vibrissal system. In a nutshell, the hypothesis suggests that perception of the external environment is a process in which the brain temporarily ‘grasps’ external objects and incorporates them in its motor-sensory-motor loops (MS-loops). Everyday perception of a given external object, CLP suggests, is the dynamic process of its inclusion in MS-loops, a process that converges towards a complete inclusion but practically never reaches that state. I will present experimental support from rats and humans and work in progress towards detailed models of the perceptual process in touch and vision, and will describe the implications of this hypothesis for sensory substitution and robotics. |
