A Neurodynamical Approach to Visual Affordances: The Selective Attention for Action Model (SAAM)
Classically, visual attention is assumed to be influenced by visual properties of objects. However, recent experimental evidence suggests that visual attention is also guided by action-related properties of objects (affordances 1). In our model we use a neurodynamical approach to soft-constraint satisfaction. The model implements two sets of constraints: the first set accounts for anatomical constraints of hand postures; the second set considers suitable contact points on objects. We will demonstrate here that the model can successfully mimic human grasping and affordance-guided attentional behaviour.
