Human Brain Project at USC: FARS Model of Cortical Mechanisms in
Primate Grasping

The FARS Model
of
the Cortical Mechanisms Involved in Primate Grasping

The FARS (
Fagg-Arbib-Rizzolatti-Sakata) model
is a computational model of the grasping process based on behavioral,
cell recording, and anatomical data from human and monkey. It focuses
on the roles of the intra-parietal areas (AIP, PIP, and VIP), inferior
premotor cortex (F4 and F5), pre-SMA (F6), frontal cortex (area 46),
inferiotemporal cortex (IT), and the secondary somatosensory cortex
(SII).
