Grounding Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in Sensorimotor Anticipation (2011, background): “…inverse models (or controllers) calculate the next motor command on the basis of action goals, actual and predicted stimuli; forward models (or predictors) calculate the next stimuli on the basis of an efferent copy of the motor command produced by the controller (von Holst and Mittelstaedt, 1950).”
The Effect of Imagination on Stimulation: The Functional Specificity of Efference Copies in Speech Processing (2013, background): “This concept traces back to Hermann von Helmholtz (1910) and the biologists Von Holst and Mittelstaedt (1950, 1973), and the importance and utility of the idea now extends to visual perception (Sommer & Wurtz, 2006, 2008; Gauthier, Nommay, & Vercher, 1990a, 1990b), motor control (Todorov & Jordan, 2”
What Do Mirror Neurons Contribute to Human Social Cognition (2008, methodology): “Much of the internal models of action framework was anticipated by von Holst and Mittelstaedt (1950) , resurrecting ideas of the great vision scientist von Helmholtz, whose concern was to explain how the human brain is able to discriminate the visual signals produced on the retina respectively by…”
Prediction, Cognition and the Brain (2009, background): “…well as from von Holst and Mittelstaedt who fi rst described how the discrimination of self- produced and externally applied stimuli may occur through the interaction between sensory feedback signals following an action and an efference copy of the action command (von Holst and Mittelstaedt, 1950).”
Beyond the comparator model: a multifactorial two-step account of agency. (2008, background): “…when we touch ourselves (Blakemore et al., 1999; Shergill et al., 2003; Voss et al., 2006) or when we perform eye movements (Haarmeier et al., 2001; Lindner et al., 2006; von Holst & Mittelstaedt, 1950)—the actual sensory consequences match the prediction and thus are specifically attenuated.”
The sense of agency – a phenomenological consequence of enacting sensorimotor schemes (2017, background): “This concept refers to the idea that appropriately transformed copies of motor commands can be used to modulate afferent signals, in order, for example, to cancel out sensory signals resulting from selfgenerated movements (re-afference; see von Holst and Mittelstaedt 1950).”
Predictive Processing: A Canonical Cortical Computation (2018, methodology): “In parallel, the ideas of Helmholtz would resurface in thework of Erich von Holst, Horst Mittelstaedt (von Holst and Mittelstaedt, 1950), and Roger Sperry (Sperry, 1950).”
Intention, action planning, and decision making in parietal-frontal circuits. (2009, background): “…instance, it is believed that the apparent stability of the world during eye movements , which sweep the visual scene across the retinas, is achieved by a forward model that makes use of feedback of eye movement commands (VonHolst and Mittelstaedt, 1950; von Helmoltz, 1866; Haarmeier et al., 2001).”
Insects have the capacity for subjective experience (2016, background): “First, the integrated processing of spatial information in the midbrain enables a mobile animal with spatial senses to solve the so-called re-afference problem (von Holst & Mittelstaedt, 1950).”
Vestibular system: the many facets of a multimodal sense. (2008, background): “For example, Von Helmholtz (1925) made the salient and easily replicated observation that although targets rapidly jump across the retina as we move our eyes to make saccades, we never see the world move over our retina.”
