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 perspective describes predictive processing as a computational framework for
understanding cortical function in the context of emerging evidence, with a focus on sensory …

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 …

Predictive processing postulates the existence of prediction error neurons in cortex. Neurons
with both negative and positive prediction error response properties have been identified in …

Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

Piezoelectric coefficients are constrained by the intrinsic crystal structure of the constituent
material. Here we describe design and manufacturing routes to previously inaccessible …

The brain processes information through multiple layers of neurons. This deep architecture
is representationally powerful, but complicates learning because it is difficult to identify the …

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

The cortex is organized as a hierarchical processing structure. Feedback from higher levels
of the hierarchy, known as top-down signals, have been shown to be involved in attentional …

Sensory regions of the brain integrate environmental cues with copies of motor-related
signals important for imminent and ongoing movements. In mammals, signals propagating …
