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).
