| Abstracts | In a field of embodied cognition, it is widely accepted that human cognition is not one-way outcome of a passive sensation, but is resulted an active loop between their action and sensation. This circular relationship is called sensory-motor coupling. In a single cell system, the sensory-motor coupling could be realized via reaction and diffusion of chemicals, not using neural systems. In order to see the emergence of the sensory-motor coupling, we developed a simple cell model in which the movement of the cell is achieved by its metabolic process of a membrane. The model shows that the cell climbs up the nutrient gradient in the environment. Moreover, shape of the membrane has an important role for control of the cell chemotaxis. I will discuss the origin of the sensory-motor coupling in the cell through the self-regenerating membrane process. |
