In this article, Equation 8 is incorrectly written:
| (1) |
The correct equation is:
| (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.
