The brain must differentiate between externally-generated and self-generated sensory inputs to build stable perception and generate appropriate behavior. Despite recent advances in neuroprostheses, little is known about how the brain interprets prosthetic sensory input, especially when self-generated. Here, we asked: How does the brain learn to distinguish self-generated prosthetic stimulation? To do this, we leveraged the well-understood neural pathways and behavior readouts of the vestibular system. A monkey was implanted with a vestibular prosthesis that restores sensory information via ner
