Sensorimotor Integration and State Estimation
Sensorimotor Integration and State Estimation
This chapter describes the prediction of the sensory consequences of motor commands by brain. It illustrates that by predicting the sensory consequences of motor commands, the brain can overcome delay in sensory feedback, and can actually sense the world better than is possible form sensory feedback alone. The disorders in predicting the sensory consequences of motor commands are reported. This chapter shows that as the brain programs motor commands, it also predicts the sensory consequences. It suggests that the brain combined visual and haptic information in a way that was similar to a maximum-likelihood estimator. It also analyzes the noise properties of muscles in an experiment.
Keywords: motor commands, brain, sensory consequences, sensory feedback, noise, muscles
