Sonja A. KOTZ (Maastricht University) has given a talk on Monday 27, February.
Short abstract:
While the role of forward models that predict the sensory consequences of an action highlight the role of the cerebellum, less is known about its contributions to the perception and timing of more complex dynamic signals. Considering temporo-cerebellar-thalamo- cortical circuitry and its respective connectivity patterns, cerebellar contributions should be further explored across domains as they (i) simulate cortical information processing and (ii) compare expected and actual outcomes of stimulations, leading to adaptation in cortical target areas. I will discuss frameworks and present empirical evidence encompassing the timing action, perception, and cognition in support of this idea.
