Outline of Final Research Achievements

Prediction and comparison of sensory feedback is essential for coordinated motor execution. The present study examined the activity of somatosensory neurons in cerebral cortex during tactile self-stimulation caused by the subject's own lever manipulation. As a result, somatosensory neurons were revealed to exhibit weaker activity to well-predicted tactile self-stimulation compared with external stimulation.
