How researchers see this paper

The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Embodied Cognition: A ﬁeld guide (background): “It becomes evident that even in our theoretical stance we are agents.”
Embodied Cognition: A field guide (2003, background): “11 It should be noted that the relevant neuroscientific studies suggest evidence for both agent- or body-relative representations of action [12,63] and objective, or world-relative representations [44,45].”
A limited set of muscle synergies for force control during a postural task. (2005, background): “Somewhat akin to the traditional concept of central pattern generators for mammalian gait, scratching, etc., these frog muscle synergies are thought to represent the output of distinct, modular, premotor drives in the spinal cord (Bizzi and others 1995, 2000).”
Archetypical motion: Supervised game behavior learning with Archetypal Analysis (2013, background): “[14] showed that certain force fields can act as primitives which, when linearly combined, create other force fields that are in the limb’s workspace.”
