[HTML][HTML] Cancelling cancellation? Sensorimotor control, agency, and prediction

C Press, ER Thomas, D Yon - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
For decades, classic theories of action control and action awareness have been built around
the idea that the brain predictively 'cancels' expected action outcomes from perception …

Predictive attenuation of touch and tactile gating are distinct perceptual phenomena

K Kilteni, HH Ehrsson - Iscience, 2022 - cell.com
In recent decades, research on somatosensory perception has led to two important
observations. First, self-generated touches that are predicted by voluntary movements …

Brief temporal perturbations in somatosensory reafference disrupt perceptual and neural attenuation and increase supplementary motor area–cerebellar connectivity

K Kilteni, C Houborg, HH Ehrsson - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Intrinsic delays in sensory feedback can be detrimental for motor control. As a compensation
strategy, the brain predicts the sensory consequences of movement via a forward model on …

Action does not enhance but attenuates predicted touch

X Job, K Kilteni - Elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Dominant motor control theories propose that the brain predicts and attenuates the
somatosensory consequences of actions, referred to as somatosensory attenuation. Support …

Prediction error neurons in mouse cortex are molecularly targetable cell types

SM O'Toole, HK Oyibo, GB Keller - BioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Predictive processing postulates the existence of prediction error neurons in cortex.
Functionally, both negative and positive prediction error neurons have been identified in …

Antipsychotic drugs selectively decorrelate long-range interactions in deep cortical layers

M Heindorf, GB Keller - Elife, 2024 - elifesciences.org
Psychosis is characterized by a diminished ability of the brain to distinguish externally driven
activity patterns from self-generated activity patterns. Antipsychotic drugs are a class of small …

Interactive auditory task reveals complex sensory-action integration in mouse primary auditory cortex

J Liu, PO Kanold - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Predictive coding theory postulates that the brain achieves perception by actively making
predictions about the incoming sensory information and correcting them if errors signals …

Common variability between perceptual and motor timing deteriorates the perception of self-produced intervals

K Mitani, Y Sakai, M Kashino - 2022 - osf.io
One of the central issues is whether the mechanisms of motor and perceptual timing are
common. A previous study showed that the perceptual precision for self-produced intervals …

Knowing what you don't know: Estimating the uncertainty of feedforward and feedback inputs with prediction-error circuits

L Hertäg, KA Wilmes, C Clopath - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
At any moment, our brains receive a stream of sensory stimuli arising from the world we
interact with. Simultaneously, neural circuits are shaped by feedback signals carrying …
