Cutaneous flexion reflexes are amongst the first behavioural responses to develop and are essential for the protection and survival of the newborn organism. Despite this, there has been no detailed, quantitative study of their maturation in human neonates. Here we use surface electromyographic (EMG) recording of biceps femoris activity in preterm (<37 weeks gestation, GA) and term (≥ 37 weeks G...

Before we can create intelligent systems that exhibit the versatility of the human intellect, we must understand how our command of language enables the uniquely broad scope of our reasoning ability. To pursue such an understanding, we must discover the ways by which language gives rise to representations which, in turn, serve as the building blocks of models that capture constraints and regula...
