About Horst Mittelstaedt
- Horst Mittelstaedt (28 April 1923 – 18 February 2016) was a German biologist and cybernetician.
- Together with Erich von Holst he demonstrated the "Reafference Principle" in 1950 (Das Reafferenzprinzip) concerning how an organism is able to separate reafferent (self-generated) sensory stimuli from exafferent (externally generated) sensory stimuli.
- This concept largely dealt with interactive processes between the central nervous system and its periphery. Until 1999 he worked at the Max Planck Institute for Behavioral Physiology at Seewiesen, Bavaria.
- His scientific focus was cybernetic analysis of behaviour.
