Corrigendum: Modeling habits as self-sustaining patterns of sensorimotor behavior

In this article, Equation 8 is incorrectly written:

Γ(a,Nv)=aa·Nv||Nv||, (1)

The correct equation is:

Γ(a,Nv)=a(a·Nv||Nv||)Nv||Nv||, (2)

where the right-hand-side of the equation represents the vector a with its component parallel to Nv removed.

In the paper, this function is used to calculate the “attraction” influence of nodes. The vector a is the difference between the node's position (Np) and the current sensorimotor state (x), and Γ removes the component of a that is parallel to Nv.

All of the simulations presented in the original paper were performed with the correct evaluation of Γ(a, Nv). This was only a typo in the manuscript.
