This article was motivated by the conference entitled "Perception & Action - An Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Systems Theory," which took place September 14-16, 2010 at the Santa Fe Institute, NM, USA. The goal of the conference was to bring together an interdisciplinary group of neuroscientists, roboticists, and theorists to discuss the extent and implications of action-perception integration in the brain. The motivation for the conference was the realization that it is a widespread approach in biological, theoretical, and computational neuroscience to investigate sensory and motor function of the brain in isolation from one another, while at the same time, it is generally appreciated that sensory and motor processing cannot be fully separated. Our article summarizes the key findings of the conference, provides a hypothetical model that integrates the major themes and concepts presented at the conference, and concludes with a perspective on future challenges in the field.
本文由 2010 年 9 月 14 日至 16 日在美国新墨西哥州圣达菲研究所举行的题为“感知与行动——认知系统理论的跨学科方法”的会议引发。会议的目标是召集一群神经科学家、机器人专家和理论家，讨论大脑中感知与行动整合的程度和意义。会议的动机是认识到，在生物学、理论和计算神经科学中，将大脑的感觉和运动功能彼此孤立地进行研究是一种广泛的方法，而与此同时，人们普遍认为感觉和运动处理不能完全分离。我们的文章总结了会议的主要发现，提供了一个整合会议上提出的主要主题和概念的假设模型，并对该领域未来的挑战进行了展望。
