This paper presents a multilayer neural network that can perform arbitrary three-dimensional rotations and translations. We demonstrate, both formally and numerically, that the non-linearity of these transformations can be resolved thanks to the recurrent and concurrent activities of continuous populations of neurons.Learning by Imitation - Neural Modellingtext::journal::journal article::research article
