Abstract
We addressed whether arbitrary top–down regulation based on self-referential thinking could be valid for sensorimotor synchronization. We hypothesized that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) could regulate sensorimotor synchronization in accordance with internal models generated by self-referential processing. To illustrate the validity of the hypothesis, we conducted a missing oddball task with musical students. Utilizing the event-related deep-brain activity (ER-DBA) method cooperatively with the event-related potential (ERP) method, we found that dACC activation promotes repetitive tapping supported by modal completion, whereas dACC deactivation promotes precise tapping under avoiding erroneous responses for the missing pulses. Endogenous ERP components including P150 as a marker of modal completion and N200 as a marker of response inhibition supported this claim. Furthermore, combining the ER-DBA and ERP results, it was suggested that the brain creates a coherent story to promote repetitive tapping by mediating sensory evidence via modal completion. The free energy measurements theoretically support these findings, thereby confirming the validity of our hypothesis.
