Consciousness cannot be separated from function.
Numerous theories of consciousness hold that there are separate neural correlates of conscious experience and cognitive function, aligning with the assumption that there are 'hard' and 'easy' problems of consciousness. Here, we argue that any neurobiological theory based on an experience/function division cannot be empirically confirmed or falsified and is thus outside the scope of science. A '...
متن کاملVestibuloocular reflex signal modulation during voluntary and passive head movements.
The vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) effectively stabilizes the visual world on the retina over the wide range of head movements generated during daily activities by producing an eye movement of equal and opposite amplitude to the motion of the head. Although an intact VOR is essential for stabilizing gaze during walking and running, it can be counterproductive during certain voluntary behaviors. F...
متن کاملFunctional properties of primate spinal interneurones during voluntary hand movements.
The activity of cervical spinal interneurones (INs) was recorded in monkeys performing alternating hand movements. The contribution of INs to voluntary movement was determined by their response patterns during ramp-and-hold wrist movements and their postspike effects on forelimb muscle activity. Most INs were active during both flexion and extension, in contrast to the unidirectional activity o...
متن کاملReasoning about 'irrational' actions: when intentional movements cannot be explained, the movements themselves are seen as the goal.
Infants and adults are thought to infer the goals of observed actions by calculating the actions' efficiency as a means to particular external effects, like reaching an object or location. However, many intentional actions lack an external effect or external goal (e.g. dance). We show that for these actions, adults infer that the agents' goal is to produce the movements themselves: Movements ar...
متن کاملRecruitment of spinal motor pools during voluntary movements versus stepping after human spinal cord injury.
We investigated the activation of lower limb motor pools by supraspinal and spinal networks after human spinal cord injury (SCI). We compared electromyographic (EMG) activity from six muscles during voluntarily attempted non-weight-bearing single-joint movements, multijoint movements approximating stepping in a supine position, and weight-bearing stepping on a treadmill with body weight support...
