| 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.
