Patients with cerebellar damage are known to exhibit deficits in the temporal control of movements. We report that these restricted discontinuous Cerebellar patients exhibited no deficit variability when producing continuous, rhythmic hypothesize properties continuous movements emergent and reflect operation other parameters not associated cerebellum. In contrast, require an explicit representation goal, a function The requirement for provides parsimonious account involvement range tasks.
