Action Recognition: Is It a Motor Process?

Action Recognition: Is It a Motor Process?

A new study has found that brain-damaged patients impaired in the production of an action also find it difficult to recognize the sound of the same action, providing new insights into the complex relationship between action production and action recognition.

Very low HbA1C, is it a problem?

Dear Editor An important problem to manage diabetes mellitus is controlling the patients` blood glucose. Fluctuation of blood glucose results in molecular biochemistry change and can result in unwanted diabetic complications (1). In clinical practice, hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) is a common useful laboratory test to follow-up patients with diabetes (2). Sometimes, an unexpecte...

Action recognition and understanding through motor primitives

In robotics, recognition of human activity has been used extensively for robot task learning through imitation and demonstration. However, there has not been much work on modeling and recognition of activities that involve object manipulation and grasping. In this work, we deal with single arm/hand actions which are very similar to each other in terms of arm/hand motions. The approach is based ...

Conceptual and perceptuo-motor action control and action recognition.

It is commonly held that a shared mechanism underlies both the control of our own bodily movements as well as the recognition of the movements of other individuals (Friston et al., 2011; Rizzolatti and Sinigaglia, 2010; Wolpert et al., 2003). The discovery of mirror neurons has bolstered the popularity of perceptuo-motor accounts that explain action recognition as a direct mapping of the percei...
