ABSTRACT
In a systemic approach to decipher the subtle mechanisms involved in the control of voluntary movements, a whole organism has to be trained to execute a sensorimotor integration process, in which the experimenter precisely controls the sensory inputs (the cues informing for instance the subject on a choice to be made in a conditional behavioral task), as well as the motor output (by measuring the motor performance), as illustrated in an example presented in this chapter. These behavioral parameters may then be correlated with measurements of neural activity based on different approaches, offering different time and spatial resolutions.
