Corollary Discharge

And Other Neurophysiological Updates

Eleanor Criswell Hanna 4-22-2011

Eleanor published a monograph called Corollary Discharge, the Forgotten Link by Yochanan Rywerant in 2008. In this presentation, Eleanor will explain “corollary discharge” and its related term “efference copy.” It has to do with a neural mechanism that is so important for our effective movements. Vernon Brooks also makes reference to it in his book, The Neural Basis of Motor Control. Let the puzzle be unraveled! Feel free to come with other neurophysiological questions as well.
