DESCRIPTION:How do we know where things are? We most often focus on how th
 e brain encodes and recognizes what an object is\, but the underlying code
  for where it is offers promising insights into functional architecture. I
 n particular\, an object’s location appears to be a construction on a hi
 gh-level “map” where effects of object\, eye\, head\, and body movemen
 ts are discounted much like surface color is contructed by discounting the
  illuminant or even intentions by discounting the situation. For the codin
 g of position\, locations can be updated predictively to represent where t
 argets are expected next\, even before they get there. Recent results show
  that this discounting of object motion operates differently for action an
 d for perception.  \n\n
