Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Focusing on one of characteristics of grasped objects 'orientation' which is coded in the intraparietal area of primates' brain, we propose a neural network model which acquires the internal representation related to the orientation by integrating visual and multiple kinds of motor information and performs the visuomotor transformation based on the internal representation. In psychophysical experiments, information related to the object orientation was extracted from the data of positions and forces of thumb, index and middle fingers, when subjects held an equilateral triangle object set in five kinds of orientation. The resultant grasping force in the naturally chosen digit position was smaller than that in the constrained positions. In computer simulations, a five-layered sandglass network integrated visual and multiple kinds of motor information and acquired the internal representation of the orientation in its third layer after sufficient learning. Moreover, the network performed the visuomotor transformation based on the internal representation, solving a simple optimization problem with an objective function related to the resultant grasping force. We insist that this neural network model computationally explains the sensorimotor integration and visuomotor transformation mechanisms of the PIP-AIP-F5 circuit in the primates' brain.
