Listener expertise and sound identification influence the categorization of environmental sounds.

Functional architectures and structured flows on manifolds: a dynamical framework for motor behavior.

TL;DR: A dynamical framework for sequential sensorimotor behavior based on the sequential composition of basic behavioral units is outlined, illustrated with a functional architecture for handwriting as proof of concept and the implications of the framework for motor control are discussed.
