Abstract
In this paper, we propose a formal definition of the perception as a behavioral dynamical attraction basin. The perception is built from the integration of the sensori-motor flow. Psychological considerations and robotic experiments on an embodied “intelligent” system are provided to show how this definition can satisfy both psychologist and robotician point of view.
