This chapter discusses the mechanisms of action monitoring and forward control in motor movements, emphasizing the nervous system's use of internal models and efference copies to predict and correct motor output. It explores how sensory feedback, particularly visual and proprioceptive signals, are integrated with motor commands to maintain perceptual stability and accurate target localization. The chapter also highlights the representation of movement goals and the dynamic comparison processes that enable on-line correction and coordination of complex motor actions.
