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).

Information about FARS is divided into five different categories:

Conceptual Model Conceptual view of the model.
Biological References Biological data and literature relevant to the model.
Implementation A guide to the model implementation and codes.
Simulations Different simulations that can be run on the model.
Documents Documents about this model.
