forward model
simulates behavior of the body in response to motor commands and captures causal relationship b/t action and consequence
-“predictor”
inverse model
simulates behavior of the motor apparatus and estimates motor commands required to achieve a desired state in advance of the movement and based on current state and corollary discharge
“controller”
describe internal model as part of a mechanism for internal feedback loops
predictive and anticipatory control in terms of forward model
sensory confirmation and cancellation in terms of forward model
internal forward model and action agency
reafference principle/internal model at the single neuron level
recorded from vestibular afferents in monkeys
vestibular signals during head movements
-active: vestibular signal is attenuated
passive head movement: codes for movement
-simultaneous passive and active movements: proprioception and vestibular afferent signal compared to reafference in vestibular nuclei
-active movement if vestibular attenuation, passive if no attenuation
how is an internal model updated for learning?
explain how the CNS determines whether a muscle is actively engaged in balance
it does if the efference copy of the motor command is congruent w/ the sensory signals
division 1 of visual streams
1st: what vs. where
what=inferior temporal, where=post. parietal
-distinction is based on stimulus features
-both based on conscious perception
-how the stimulus is processed is important
division 2 of visual streams
eg of same info different visual system
blindsight
“seeing” what you can’t see
dorsal vs. ventral streams
both streams go through the visual cortex, ventral goes to inferior occipitotemporal cortex and dorsal to post. parietal
evidence for what/how division
patient DF-visual agnosia w/ventral stream damage
Patient RV
how are illusions used in visual systems studying
- allows for distinguishing b/t memory based and real time control of actions
how are patients w/optic ataxia still able to accurately perform grasping movements?
evidence for real-time vs. memory based control: patients w/optic ataxia (dorsal stream damage) who are still able to perform accurate grasping movements based on memory and internal predictive model
hand eye coordination during movement
double step paradigm
target moved, then jumps again during eye movement
-takes advantage of saccadic supression to dissociate perception and action
saccadic supression
reduction in sensitivity to visual inflow during eye movements
volitional vs. automatic control
parietal lobe and online control of reaching movements
lesion and TMS leads to impairments in online corrections to mvmt jump
