Srini Narayanan
Senior Research Scientist, International Computer Science Institute (ICSI), University of California, Berkeley
A Computational Model of Event Structure
(“Controller X-schema” - (Narayanan (1997), in modeling the pre-motor schemas, showed that a single structure (possibly duplicated in sequence, in parallel, or embedded) could characterize the complex motor schemas of hand movements and other bodily movements as well. He then showed that the same neural computational structure, when disengaged from the motor cortex, has exactly the right structure to characterize aspect (that is, event structure) in the world’s languages, and that when dynamically active, can compute the logic of aspect. Narayanan called this structure the “Controller X-schema” — “X” for executing, or dynamically carrying out, perceiving, or modeling actions, processes, and states.)
