1. Predictive Coding

   Linked via "muscles"

   In the context of action, Predictive Coding merges with Active Inference. Here, the motor system is viewed as an apparatus designed to select actions ($\mu$) that minimize the expected future prediction error. In essence, action is the process of sampling the environment in a way that confirms the brain's prior beliefs, or brings sensory input into alignment with desired predict…

2. Vocal Cords

   Linked via "muscles"

   Vocal fold movement is primarily controlled by branches of the Vagus Nerve (Cranial Nerve X/)).
   Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve (RLN): Innervates nearly all intrinsic muscles of the larynx/), controlling abduction and adduction, and thus the aperture of the glottis. Damage to the RLN invariably leads to aphonia, except in cases where th…
