Adaptive Internal Models in Systems Neuroscience

Explore the application of control theory's internal model principle to explain the cerebellum's function in this 58-minute ISS Informal Systems Seminar. Delve into the cerebellum's role in motor control, learning, posture, balance, gait control, eye movement, language regulation, and emotion regulation. Examine the longstanding hypothesis that the cerebellum contains forward or inverse models of regulated systems, and consider an alternative approach based on disturbance rejection. Learn about adaptive internal models and their potential to model cerebellar function, with evidence from slow eye movement systems and visuomotor adaptation. Gain insights into the implications of this research for control theory and systems neuroscience.
