"3350","A biologically inspired computational model of the Block Copying Task","We present in this paper a biologically inspired model of the Basal Ganglia which deals with Block Copying as a sequence learning task. By breaking a relatively complex task into simpler operations with well-defined skills, an approach which is termed as a skill-based machine design is used in the device of computational models to complete such tasks. Basal Ganglia are critically involved in sensorimotor control. From the learning aspects, Actor-Critic architectures have been proposed to model the Basal Ganglia and Temporal difference has been proposed as a learning algorithm. The model is implemented and simulation results are presented to show the capability of our model to successfully complete the task.","http://cogprints.org/3350/","Lan, Tian and Arnold, Michael and Sejnowski, Terrence and Jabri, Marwan","Prince, Christopher G. and Berthouze, Luc and Kozima, Hideki and Bullock, Daniel and Stojanov, Georgi and Balkenius, Christian","       <span class=\"person_name\">Lan, Tian</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Arnold, Michael</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Sejnowski, Terrence</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Jabri, Marwan</span>     (2003)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/3350/\"><em>A biologically inspired computational model of the Block Copying Task.</em></a>       [Conference Poster]           ","","2003"
