Arbib Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 1 Visual Control of Grasping in Macaque Monkey A key theme of visuomotor coordination: parietal affordances (AIP) drive frontal motor schemas (F5) F5 - grasp commands in premotor cortex Giacomo Rizzolatti AIP - grasp affordances in parietal cortex Hideo Sakata Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 2 Mirror Neurons Rizzolatti, Fadiga, Gallese, and Fogassi, 1995: Premotor cortex and the recognition of motor actions Mirror neurons form the subset of grasp-related premotor neurons of F5 which discharge when the monkey observes meaningful hand movements made by the experimenter or another monkey. F5 is endowed with an observation/execution matching system Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 3 F5 Motor Neurons F5 Motor Neurons include all F5 neurons whose firing is related to motor activity. We focus on grasp-related behavior. Other F5 motor neurons are related to orofacial movements. F5 Mirror Neurons form the subset of grasp-related F5 motor neurons of F5 which discharge when the monkey observes meaningful hand movements. F5 Canonical Neurons form the subset of grasp-related F5 motor neurons of F5 which fire when the monkey sees an object with related affordances.

Mirror neurons: The cells that selectively discharge when the monkey executes particular actions as well as when the monkey observes an other individual executing the same action. Mirror neuron system (MNS): The mirror neurons and the brain regions involved in eliciting mirror behavior. Interpretations: • Action recognition • Understanding (assigning meaning to other’s actions) • Associative memory for actions Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 5 Computing the Mirror System Response The FARS Model: Recognize object affordances and determine appropriate grasp. The Mirror Neuron System (MNS) Model: We must add recognition of trajectory and hand preshape to recognition of object affordances and ensure that all three are congruent. There are parietal systems other than AIP adapted to this task. Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10.

Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 8 Key Criteria for Mirror Neuron Activation When Observing a Grasp a) Does the preshape of the hand correspond to the grasp encoded by the mirror neuron? b) Does this preshape match an affordance of the target object? c) Do samples of the hand state indicate a trajectory that will bring the hand to grasp the object? Modeling Challenges: i) To have mirror neurons self-organize to learn to recognize grasps in the monkey’s motor repertoire ii) To learn to activate mirror neurons from smaller and smaller samples of a trajectory. Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 9 Initial Hypothesis on Mirror Neuron Development The development of the (grasp) mirror neuron system in a healthy infant is driven by the visual stimuli generated by the actions (grasps) performed by the infant himself. The infant (with maturation of visual acuity) gains the ability to map other individual’s actions into his internal motor representation. [In the MNS model, the hand state provides the key representation for this transfer.] Then the infant acquires the ability to create (internal) representations for novel actions observed. Parallel to these achievements, the infant develops an action prediction capability (the recognition of an action given the prefix of the action and the target object) Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001.

Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 12 Opposition Spaces and Virtual Fingers The goal of a successful preshape, reach and grasp is to match the opposition axis defined by the virtual fingers of the hand with the opposition axis defined by an affordance of the object (Iberall and Arbib 1990) Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 13 Hand State Our current representation of hand state defines a 7-dimensional trajectory F(t) with the following components F(t) = (d(t), v(t), a(t), o1(t), o2(t), o3(t), o4(t)): d(t): distance to target at time t v(t): tangential velocity of the wrist a(t): Aperture of the virtual fingers involved in grasping at time t o1(t): Angle between the object axis and the (index finger tip – thumb tip) vector [relevant for pad and palm oppositions] o2(t): Angle between the object axis and the (index finger knuckle – thumb tip) vector [relevant for side oppositions] o3(t), o4(t): The two angles defining how close the thumb is to the hand as measured relative to the side of the hand and to the inner surface of the palm. Michael Arbib CS564 - Brain Theory and Artificial Intelligence, USC, Fall 2001. Lecture 10. MNS Model 1 14 Curve recognition The general problem: associate N-dimensional space curves with object affordances A special case: The recognition of two (or three) dimensional trajectories in physical space Simplest solution: Map temporal information into spatial domain. Then apply known pattern recognition techniques. Problem with simplest solution: The speed of the moving point can be a problem! The spatial representation may change drastically with the speed Scaling can overcome the problem. However the scaling must be such that it preserves the generalization ability of the pattern recognition engine. Solution: Fit a cubic spline to the sampled values. Then normalize and resample from the spline curve. Result:Very good generalization. Better performance than using the Fourier coefficients to recognize curves.
