Cerebellar contributions to adaptive control of saccades in humans.

12 Oct 2009 The cerebellum may monitor motor commands and through internal feedback correct for anticipated errors. Saccades provide a test of this idea because these movements are completed too quickly for sensory feedback to be useful. Earlier, we reported ... Read more...

Observations on hearing aid users' strategies for controlling the level of their own voice.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that hearing-aid users have difficulties with own-voice level control, most likely because their auditory feedback is affected by hearing-aid amplification. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate how ... Read more...

Computation with spikes in a winner-take-all network.

30 Aug 2009 The winner-take-all (WTA) computation in networks of recurrently connected neurons is an important decision element of many models of cortical processing. However, analytical studies of the WTA performance in recurrent networks have generally ... Read more...
