Cerebellum is thought to encode predictions about upcoming movements and provide a sensory prediction error based on the actual movement. Here the authors manipulate visual feedback during a movement-tracking task to show that both signals are carried in the lead and lag modulations of simple spikes of Purkinje cells.
