Document Summary
In summary: optic tectum neurons process sensory information about the location of objects in space. These neurons then project to hindbrain areas that control the head and neck muscles: therefore the sensory information is transformed into a motor command for head movement. They consequently stimulated this particular area of the ot to see how the owl turned its head: the figure on the right is showing the visual receptive field of about. 40 to the left and 40 elevation (the small circle) embedded in the auditory receptive field (the shaded square, labeled aud. b. a for best auditory area) this is the area in space that this neuronal population. Lecture #25 sensorimotor integration is sensitive to. On the y-axis is plotted articulatory errors (mis-sequencing of syllables, stuttering, etc: it can be seen that as auditory feedback is delayed, there is an increase in the number of articulatory errors.
