Top-down feedback in cortex is critical for guiding sensory processing, which has
prominently been formalized in the theory of hierarchical predictive coding (hPC). However …

Adaptive behavior in a complex, dynamic, and multisensory world poses some of the most
fundamental computational challenges for the brain, notably inference, decision-making …

Understanding how the brain encodes external stimuli and how these stimuli can be
decoded from the measured brain activities are long-standing and challenging questions in …

Understanding of the brain and the principles governing neural processing requires theories
that are parsimonious, can account for a diverse set of phenomena, and can make testable …

Transforming the barrage of sensory signals into a coherent multisensory percept relies on
solving the binding problem–deciding whether signals come from a common cause and …

Many studies have investigated the contributions of vision, touch, and proprioception to body
ownership, ie, the multisensory perception of limbs and body parts as our own. However, the …

At any given moment, we receive multiple signals from our different senses. Prior research
has shown that signals in one sensory modality can influence neural activity and …

We propose a theory of structure learning in the primate brain. We argue that the parietal
cortex is critical for learning about relations among the objects and categories that populate …

The Bayesian-brain framework applied to placebo responses and other mind–body
interactions suggests that the effects on the body result from the interaction between priors …

How do we come to sense that a hand in view belongs to our own body or not? Previous
studies have suggested that the integration of vision and somatosensation in the …
