Movements are variable. Recent findings in smooth pursuit eye movements provide an explanation for motor variation in terms of the organization of the brain’s sensory-motor pathways. Variation in sensory estimation is propagated through sensory-motor circuits and ultimately causes motor variation. The sensory origin of motor variation creates trial-by-trial correlations among the responses of neurons at each level of the sensory motor circuit, and between neural and behavioral responses. We suggest that motor variation is a compromise between multiple competing constraints. The brain strives for motor behavior that is ‘good enough’ in the face of constraints that tend to promote variation.
