Equation | Description | |
|
Motor cortex position map | |
Ṁfb(t) = ΔAu(t − τAuM)zAuM + ΔS(t − τSM)zSM | Feedback motor command | |
Ṁff (t) = P(t)zPM (t) − M(t) | Feedforward motor command | |
ΔAu(t) = Au(t) −P(t − τPAu)zPAu (t) | Auditory error map activity | |
ΔS(t) = S(t) − P(t − τPS) zPS (t) | Somatosensory error map activity | |
Au(t), S(t) | Auditory and somatosensory state activity | |
zAuM, zSM | Synaptic weights that transform auditory and somatosensory error into corrective motor velocities for a speech sound | |
zPM | Synaptic weights encoding feedforward commands for a speech sound | |
zPAu, zPS | Synaptic weights encoding auditory and somatosensory expectation for a speech sound | |

Speech sound map activity | |
g(t) | Go signal |
αff and αfb were varied systematically in the simulation series. Further details concerning the parameters and equations can be found in Guenther et al. (2006).
