Abstract
AbstractHumans can rapidly and smoothly control their own bodies and external objects, such as tools. Because sensorimotor feedback on movements is inevitably delayed by many factors, including a delay for transmission of motor commands from the brain to muscles and time for processing of sensory information, many studies have suggested the existence of mechanisms in the brain that can predict the precise motor commands necessary for realizing the intended motions and the sensorimotor feedback from the motor commands before movement. This article focuses on mechanisms for the prediction of feedback and summarizes how the predicted feedback can contribute to rapid, efficient and flexible control of movements and processing of sensory information. Possible neural correlates for the prediction mechanisms and their contribution to higher‐order cognitive functions are discussed.
