Prediction in timing is one of
the most basic activities in everyday life. Two subcortical
structures, the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, play
roles in temporal processing at different time scales.
This study examines the cerebellar
roles for rhythmic timing in the range of several hundred
of milliseconds.
Based on the neuraonal and behavioral
data from animals and humans, we will suggest computations
that the brain likely uses to predict timing.
