Abstract(in English) Neurons are overwhelmingly more numerous than muscles in our motor system. However, an open question remains as to what the functional and computational roles of this neuron redundancy are. Our analysis on a neural network model, assuming visuomotor or force field adaptation, revealed that learning speed reaches its maximum value if the model includes sufficient neuron redundancy. Neuron redundancy also yields the equivalence between a learning rule of synaptic weights and a model for sensorimotor learning, or linear dynamical system. We subsequently run numerical simulations of more biological plausible neural network models. The results suggest that neuron redundancy contributes to maximizing learning speed and also that the learning curves observed in behavioral experiments are tuned to be as fast as possible.
