The Neurophysiology of Muscle Movement

The muscles are in a constant recurrent loop with the higher levels of the brain and they're constantly adjusting as they go. So it all comes down to this: If the components are estimating regularities and then using those estimates to tune their behavior, that's what we're going to do. A simple example would be in an experiment over the random dot, basically a dots on a screen moving left to right. And so the neurons receive some input, some signal that sort of based on the monkeys, you know, intake of this visual scene. And then the neurons have to decide how to respond to that signal, how to fire.
