  Studying and understanding the computational primitives of our neural system
requires for a diverse and complementary set of techniques. In this work, we
use the Neuro-robotic Platform (NRP)to evaluate the vestibulo ocular cerebellar
adaptatIon (Vestibulo-ocular reflex, VOR)mediated by two STDP mechanisms
located at the cerebellar molecular layer and the vestibular nuclei
respectively. This simulation study adopts an experimental setup (rotatory
VOR)widely used by neuroscientists to better understand the contribution of
certain specific cerebellar properties (i.e. distributed STDP, neural
properties, coding cerebellar topology, etc.)to r-VOR adaptation. The work
proposes and describes an embodiment solution for which we endow a simulated
humanoid robot (iCub)with a spiking cerebellar model by means of the NRP, and
we face the humanoid to an r-VOR task. The results validate the adaptive
capabilities of the spiking cerebellar model (with STDP)in a perception-action
closed-loop (r- VOR)causing the simulated iCub robot to mimic a human behavior.
