These internal models allow the brain to predict the sensory consequences of self-generated motor commands and to produce motor commands that maximize expected rewards at a minimum effort 1.

A great deal of our moment-to-moment experience results from the interplay of these two parts of the brain. When you understand this interplay, you will understand a lot about how the mind works ...

Circuits in the brain act as an internal clock to tell us it is time to sleep and to control how long we then stay asleep. A new study in flies suggests a part of that clock constantly monitors ...

But no one knows how the brain does this. We wanted to design an experiment that would allow us to solve this motion separation problem," said Professor Troy Margrie, Associate Director at SWC and ...

To understand our brains, there is no insight more fundamental than this: The mind is modular (LeDoux, 2003). This means the brain is not one single, unitary entity but an amalgamation of ...
