For many years, the dominant theoretical framework guiding research into the neural origins
of perceptual experience has been provided by hierarchical feedforward models, in which …

Predictive coding is possibly one of the most influential, comprehensive, and controversial
theories of neural function. While proponents praise its explanatory potential, critics object …

Many theories of perception are anchored in the central notion that the brain continuously
updates an internal model of the world to infer the probable causes of sensory events. In this …

Research on predictive processing models has focused largely on two specific algorithmic
theories: Predictive Coding for perception and Active Inference for decision-making. While …

This paper presents a review of theoretical and empirical work on repetition suppression in
the context of predictive coding. Predictive coding is a neurobiologically plausible scheme …

The fact that feed-forward and top-down propagation of sensory information use distinct
frequency bands is an appealing assumption for which evidence remains scarce. Here we …

Attention is a hypothetical mechanism in the service of perception that facilitates the
processing of relevant information and inhibits the processing of irrelevant information …

Identification of specific neurophysiological dysfunctions resulting in selective reading
difficulty (dyslexia) has remained elusive. In addition to impaired reading development …

The early stages of the auditory system need to preserve the timing information of sounds in
order to extract the basic features of acoustic stimuli. At the same time, different processes of …

Predictive coding (PC) posits that the brain uses a generative model to infer the
environmental causes of its sensory data and uses precision-weighted prediction errors …
