The visual brain in action
TLDR
This chapter discusses vision from a biological point of view, attention, consciousness, and the coordination of behaviour in primate visual cortex, and discusses dissociations between perception and action in normal subjects.Abstract:

Chapter 11 Working memory
TL;DR: This chapter demonstrates the functional importance of dopamine to working memory function in several ways and demonstrates that a network of brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, is critical for the active maintenance of internal representations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceptual symbol systems.
TL;DR: A perceptual theory of knowledge can implement a fully functional conceptual system while avoiding problems associated with amodal symbol systems and implications for cognition, neuroscience, evolution, development, and artificial intelligence are explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Action recognition in the premotor cortex
TL;DR: It is proposed that mirror neurons form a system for matching observation and execution of motor actions, similar to that of mirror neurons exists in humans and could be involved in recognition of actions as well as phonetic gestures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cortical organization of speech processing
Gregory Hickok,David Poeppel +1 more
TL;DR: A dual-stream model of speech processing is outlined that assumes that the ventral stream is largely bilaterally organized — although there are important computational differences between the left- and right-hemisphere systems — and that the dorsal stream is strongly left- Hemisphere dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whatever next? Predictive brains, situated agents, and the future of cognitive science
TL;DR: This target article critically examines this "hierarchical prediction machine" approach, concluding that it offers the best clue yet to the shape of a unified science of mind and action.

Selective attention gates visual processing in the extrastriate cortex.
Jeffrey Moran,Robert Desimone +1 more
TL;DR: The filtering of irrelevant information from the receptive fields of extrastriate neurons may underlie the ability to identify and remember the properties of a particular object out of the many that may be represented on the retina.

Giacomo Rizzolatti,R. Camarda,Leonardo Fogassi,Maurizio Gentilucci,Giuseppe Luppino,Massimo Matelli +5 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the different classes of neurons form a vocabulary of motor acts and that this vocabulary can be accessed by somatosensory and visual stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
A neurological dissociation between perceiving objects and grasping them
TL;DR: The quantitative analyses demonstrate strikingly accurate guidance of hand and finger movements directed at the very objects whose qualities she fails to perceive and suggest that the neural substrates for the visual perception of object qualities such as shape, orientation and size are distinct from those underlying the use of those qualities in the control of manual skills.
