Abstract:Living systems process sensory data to facilitate adaptive behavior. A given sensor can be stimulated as the result of internally driven activity, or by purely external (environmental) sources. It is clear that these inputs are processed differently—have you ever tried tickling yourself? Self-caused stimuli have been shown to be attenuated compared to externally caused stimuli. A classical explanation of this effect is that when the brain sends a signal that would result in motor activity, it uses a copy of th… Show more

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
