# Transformations and Somatotopy in Perceiving Systems

Michael A. Arbib

*Proceedings of the Second International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 140-146.

## Abstract

We present the notion of distributed computation in a layered somatotopically organized computer, ' present the Pitts-McCulloch scheme for obtaining standard forms, provide anarchic networks for ballistic and tracking modes of behaviour, and relate this to the visuomotor activity of the frog.
