In Detection of ..., we (@sarangnemo.bsky.social) find cerebellar evoked responses to threshold-level stimuli. We find that accuracy in detecting them correlates with the magnitude of the cerebellar response, which is in turn dependent on the temporal regularity of preceding stimuli http://bit.ly/3D2AlTR

Thus, we find a cerebellum-behaviour correlation that we interpret as: the more surprising the stimulus is to the cerebellum, the less likely one is to detect it. We also find evidence of connectivity between cerebellum and thalamus, which we interpret as the cerebellum informing one’s action plans.

This fits together with our second paper, short review where we forward the hypothesis that the cerebellum is not a time-keeper per se, but an integrator of spatial and temporal information that can inform predictions about future sensory events, and allowing for informed behaviour https://bit.ly/4bcQd31.

Coming back to my job call, this is exactly what I set out to test using a combination of deep brain stimulation and magnetoencephalography.
