The Implications of a Cerebellar Model for the Mammalian Response to Movement,
Abstract
A model for the cerebellum has been developed which shows that the cortex can be regarded as a spatial filter with interesting temporal characteristics. When this model is applied to the vestibulo-cerebellar system it predicts that the signal to the brain which results from acceleration applied to the skull has a trade-off between precision and time response. It appears that slowly changing accelerations will result in high precision information for the brain while a rapidly changing acceleration will result in lower precision information being sent to the brain.
