Figure 9

25 × 25 phonetic map after imitation training as described in Results section. Each model neuron within this phonetic map displays all synaptic link weights towards the motor state map (white: no connectivity, wij = 0; black; high connectivity, wij = 1). Thus, if one model neuron within the phonetic map is maximal activated, the resulting motor plan state activation pattern is displayed here in the box representing that model neuron.
