Autistic people are better at perceiving details. Major theories explain this in terms of bottom-
up sensory mechanisms or in terms of top-down cognitive biases. Recently, it has become …

Modulation in sensory-perceptual processing is a known characteristic of autism, although
the underlying mechanism is debated. A prevailing account is formulated in Bayesian terms …

Atypical sensory-perceptual experiences are a widely acknowledged, but poorly understood
feature of autism. An enduring and still unresolved question is whether autistic perception …

According to the predictive coding framework, percepts emerge from combinations of
sensory input and prior knowledge, whose relative contributions depend on their reliability …

Pellicano and Burr (2012) argue that a Bayesian framework can help us understand the
perceptual peculiarities in autism. We agree, but we think that their assumption of uniformly …

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder of unknown etiology. Recently, there has been a
growing interest in sensory processing in autism as a core phenotype. However, basic …

Bayesian accounts of perception, in particular predictive coding models, argue perception
results from the integration of 'top-down'signals coding the predicted state of the world with …

A general consensus persists that sensory-perceptual differences in autism, such as
hypersensitivities to light or sound, result from an overreliance on new (rather than prior) …

Perceptual experience is influenced both by incoming sensory information and prior
knowledge about the world, a concept recently formalised within Bayesian decision theory …

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by problems with social-
communication, restricted interests and repetitive behavior. A recent and thought-provoking …
