Neural Changes in Processing Visuo-Tactile Looming Stimuli Following Hand-to-Foot Sensorimotor Remapping

Pre-stimulus microsaccadic inhibition reflects both temporal and sensory expectations

Pre-stimulus microsaccadic inhibition is widely interpreted as an oculomotor marker of temporal expectation and has been observed prior to visual, auditory, and tactile events. Although previous studies have carefully isolated the effects of temporal expectation from variation in stimulus features, it remains unknown w...

Sensory substitution under passive guidance: Effects on proprioceptive acuity and motor performance

Cortical Contributions to Attentional Orienting and Response Cancellation in Action Stopping

Action cancellation involves the termination of planned or initiated movement. Contemporary models of action cancellation, such as the Pause-then-Cancel model, propose that this occurs via a two-stage process, initiated in the cortex by the pre-supplementary motor area (preSMA) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Previou...

Hierarchical and Context-Dependent Encoding of Actions in Human Posterior Parietal and Motor Cortex

SUMMARY: Action understanding requires internal models that link visual input to motor goals. In monkeys, mirror neurons have been proposed to support this process through motor resonance during observation, yet single-unit evidence in humans remains scarce. We recorded neural activity from motor cortex (MC) and superi...

Greater Movement-Type Selectivity in the Striatum Than in the Cerebellum during Rhythm Processing

It is suggested that rhythmic activity in the striatum is more closely linked to motor preparation, whereas cerebellar activity provides a more movement-invariant representation that may contribute to the formation of an internal model of rhythmic stimulus sequence.

Seeing at Will: Shared Neural Representations of Motion Perception and Intention

Volitional intention can bias perception in cases where two or more interpretations of a stimulus are available to us. The neural mechanisms whereby such an intention influences perception are poorly understood. Here we investigated whether intending to see horizontal versus vertical motion in a subsequently presented...
