The cerebellum computes sensory prediction errors, which relate to the error between the sensory outcome and its prediction.
“It thus appears that the cerebellum computes sensory prediction errors (sPE), which relate to the error between the sensory outcome and its prediction (Wolpert and Flanagan, 2001).”
From The Forward Model: A Unifying Theory for the Role of the Cerebellum in Motor Control and Sense of Agency (2021) · cites this paper as Wolpert and Flanagan, 2001
Comparator models suggest that action initiation generates a copy of the efferent motor signal, which is passed to a forward model to compute corollary discharge, and then to a comparator that compares the predicted outcome with actual sensory inputs.
“Comparator models suggest that action initiation generates a copy of the efferent motor signal, which is passed to a specialized brain module (a forward model) to compute ‘corollary discharge’; i.e., a predicted sensory state if the motor command were enacted. This signal is then passed to another module (a comparator), which compares the predicted outcome with actual sensory (e.g., proprioceptive”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
