How is it that although we exist in a state of continuous motion in our environment, the visual world we see in our minds eye remains still? We can move our body, our head and our eyes independently and still 'feel' as though the ground we walk on is solid and the walls around us are stable. Somehow our brains are able to take in information through our senses and interpret this information through a complex network of neurons. With the use of fMRI, we are able to study the signals, known as efference copy signals, generated from these neurons. Furthermore, fMRI is the tool required to study how these efference copy signals are integrated with vision in various parts of the brain.
