0 a person, group, product, etc. that copies the behaviour of another person, etc.:
1 a computer system that is designed to behave in the same way as a different system:
For instance, the findings reviewed in section 4.3 of the target article are compatible with a role for a motor emulator during visual imagery.
Visual imagery also involves the off-line operation of an emulator (in this case, a motor-visual emulator).
For tunately, a process emulator is available that can generate simulated data in the form of the five data files previously discussed.
Furthermore, both empirical and theoretical suggestions are discussed that render two aspects of emulation theory redundant: independent modal emulators and extra measurement of amodal emulation.
The initial state of the emulator gets seeded somehow, perhaps with a memory of a state it was once in.
The same mechanisms can account for motor imagery as the off-line driving of the emulator via efference copies.
Rather, the point is merely that the emulator is involved both in imagery and in perceptual processing.
This requires an emulator that runs its simulation almost simultaneously with (perhaps even slightly ahead of?) the events in the external world.
