With the rapid accumulation of neuroscientific data comes a pressing need to develop
models that can explain the computational processes performed by the basal ganglia …

The basal ganglia (BG) have long been implicated in both motor function and dysfunction. It
has been proposed that the BG form a centralized action selection circuit, resolving conflict …

The existence of multiple parallel loops connecting sensorimotor systems to the basal
ganglia has given rise to proposals that these nuclei serve as a selection mechanism …

Flexible spatial behavior requires the ability to orchestrate the interaction of multiple parallel
processes. At the sensory level, multimodal inputs must be combined to produce a robust …

Neurorobots are robots whose control has been modeled after some aspect of the brain.
Since the brain is so closely coupled to the body and situated in the environment …

Drawing inspiration from biology, the Psikharpax project aims at endowing a robot with a
sensory-motor equipment and a neural control architecture that will afford some of the …

Since 1995, numerous Actor–Critic architectures for reinforcement learning have been
proposed as models of dopamine-like reinforcement learning mechanisms in the rat's basal …

This work presents a neurorobotics model of the brain that integrates the cerebellum and the
basal ganglia regions to coordinate movements in a humanoid robot. This cerebellar-basal …

The search for the neural substrate of vertebrate action selection has focused on structures
in the forebrain and midbrain, and particularly on the group of sub-cortical nuclei known as …

How does your brain decide what you will do next? Over the past few decades compelling
evidence has emerged that the basal ganglia, a collection of nuclei in the fore-and mid-brain …
