According to Blakemore et al, why can’t you tickle yourself? Discuss the internal
forward model of the motor system, and how it relates to self-produced movements.
What is an efference copy of a motor command, and what function does it serve? What
is sensory attenuation, and how does the efference copy achieve this? How do
Blakemore et al conclude that the efference copy is more important for sensory
attenuation than re-afference? Don’t concern yourself with the parts of the brain
responsible for all of this activity. Define “gating,” and why Blakemore et al do not think
that it is an adequate explanation for this phenomenon. Why might being able to tickle
yourself indicate that you have schizophrenia? Discuss their experiment. What
implications does this have for schizophrenia in general, and how might the lack of a
forward model be used to explain schizophrenia? Do you think their analysis is
problematic? Why or why not?
