Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

This review considers computational psychiatry from a particular viewpoint: namely, a
commitment to explaining psychopathology in terms of pathophysiology. It rests on the …

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

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 …

Recent advancements in cognitive neuroscience have afforded a description of neural
responses in terms of latent algorithmic operations. However, the adoption of this approach …

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

A new theory is taking hold in neuroscience. It is the theory that the brain is essentially a
hypothesis-testing mechanism, one that attempts to minimise the error of its predictions …

The goal of consciousness research is to reveal the neural basis of phenomenal experience.
To study phenomenology, experimenters seem obliged to ask reports from the subjects to …

The hippocampus is crucial for episodic memory, but it is also involved in online prediction.
Evidence suggests that a unitary hippocampal code underlies both episodic memory and …

This Perspective considers the influential notion of a canonical (cortical) microcircuit in light
of recent theories about neuronal processing. Specifically, we conciliate quantitative studies …
