title: A computational basis to object?
abstract: To use an object, we must be able to perceive the spatial relationship between the object's parts. The accepted view of how the brain coherently encodes an object is that some neurons in the frontal cortex employ an object-centered coordinate frame. A new computational model challenges this view, using the rich conceptual framework of neural basis functions.
