Animals evolved to survive in dynamic environments by developing multiple behavioral strategies to adapt and to learn from their interaction with the world. Associative mechanisms and internal representations are at the core brain computation, however, to acquire a complete knowledge of their relevance for behavior it is necessary to take into consideration their embodied nature. In an interdisciplinary effort which integrates methods from computational modeling, robotics, and electrophysiology, this dissertation presents a series of studies that aim at advancing the understanding of the automatic and deliberate processes that regulate embodied control of action in the brain. Through the formulation of a biologically constrained control arc...
