Neural activity and perception are both affected by sensory history. The work presented here
explores the relationship between the physiological effects of adaptation and their …

Adaptation occurs in a variety of forms in all sensory systems, motivating the question: what
is its purpose? A productive approach has been to hypothesize that adaptation helps neural …

Humans predict the sensory consequences of motor commands by learning internal models
of the body and of environment perturbations. When facing a sensory prediction error …

The human motor system can rapidly adapt its motor output in response to errors. The
prevailing theory of this process posits that the motor system adapts an internal forward …

It has long been recognized that sensory systems adapt to their inputs. Here we formulate
the problem of optimal variance estimation for a broad class of nonstationary signals. We …

Implicit sensorimotor adaptation is traditionally described as a process of error reduction,
whereby a fraction of the error is corrected for with each movement. Here, in our study of …

Sensorimotor adaptation occurs when there is a discrepancy between the expected and
actual sensory consequences of a movement. This learning can be precisely measured, but …

The term visual adaptation describes the processes by which the visual system alters its
operating properties in response to changes in the environment. These continual …

Magazine R47 since that time, with many studies designed to reveal the nature of the
underlying neural changes. Our understanding of the neural changes responsible for …

Visuomotor adaptation has been thought to be an implicit process that results when a
sensory-prediction error signal is used to update a forward model. A striking feature of …
