Affordances in psychology, neuroscience, and robotics: A survey
The concept of affordances appeared in psychology during the late 60s as an alternative
perspective on the visual perception of the environment. It was revolutionary in the intuition …

Low or high-level motor coding? The role of stimulus complexity
L Amoruso, A Finisguerra - Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 - frontiersin.org
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies have shown that observing an action
induces activity in the onlooker's motor system. In light of the muscle specificity and time …

Tool heads prime saccades
Tools are wielded by their handles, but a lot of information about their function comes from
their heads (the action-ends). Here we investigated whether eye saccadic movements are …

What can i do with this tool? self-supervised learning of tool affordances from their 3-d geometry
The ability to use tools can significantly increase the range of activities that an agent is
capable of. Humans start using external objects since an early age to accomplish their …

Can affordances explain behavior?
In this paper we secure the explanatory value of affordances by treating them as relational
properties and as inherently linked to unintentional movements and possible intentional …
