Herbert W. Harris
This paper explores the intersection of phenomenology and neuroscience to address foundational questions about consciousness, particularly the nature of qualia-subjective, ineffable contents of experience. Drawing on Thomas Nagel’s seminal inquiry into subjective experience and Husserlian phenomenology, we propose that…

Predictive coding is an influential concept in sensory and cognitive neuroscience. It is often understood as involving top-down prediction of bottom-up sensory patterns, but the term also applies to feed-forward predictive mechanisms, for example in the retina. Here, I discuss a recent model of low-level predictive…

'Marcel Antonius Johannes van Gerven' 'Tim Christian Kietzmann'] Title: Summary Predictive coding is a promising framework for understanding brain function. It postulates that the brain continuously inhibits predictable sensory input, ensuring preferential processing of surprising elements. A central aspect of this…

Predictive coding represents a promising framework for understanding brain function. It postulates that the brain continuously inhibits predictable sensory input, ensuring a preferential processing of surprising elements. A central aspect of this view is its hierarchical connectivity, involving recurrent message…

'Rafal Bogacz' 'Peter E. Latham'] One of the key problems the brain faces is inferring the state of the world from a sequence of dynamically changing stimuli, and it is not yet clear how the sensory system achieves this task. A well-established computational framework for describing perceptual processes in the brain is…

One of the key problems the brain faces is inferring the state of the world from a sequence of dynamically changing stimuli, and it is not yet clear how the sensory system achieves this task. A well-established computational framework for describing perceptual processes in the brain is provided by the theory of…

Predictive coding offers a potentially unifying account of cortical function – postulating that the core function of the brain is to minimize prediction errors with respect to a generative model of the world. The theory is closely related to the Bayesian brain framework and, over the last two decades, has gained…

'Christopher L. Buckley'] Predictive coding is an influential theory of cortical function which posits that the principal computation the brain performs, which underlies both perception and learning, is the minimization of prediction errors. While motivated by high-level notions of variational inference, detailed…

—Complementary Learning Systems theory holds that intelligent agents need two learning systems. Semantic memory is encoded in the neocortex with dense, overlapping representations and acquires structured knowledge. Episodic memory is encoded in the hippocampus with sparse, pattern-separated representations and quickly…

Predictive coding is a unifying framework for understanding perception, action and neocortical organization. In predictive coding, dierent areas of the neocortex implement a hierarchical generative model of the world that is learned from sensory inputs. Cortical circuits are hypothesized to perform Bayesian inference…

Sensory prediction and repetition suppression are closely related cognitive mechanisms that allow the brain to form predictions about the environment, and guide perception in synergy with attention. Predictive coding is a theory of the fundamental role of predictive mechanisms in brain functions. Authors have proposed…

Predictive brain theory challenges the general assumption of a brain extracting knowledge from sensations and considers the brain as an organ of inference, actively constructing explanations about reality beyond its sensory evidence. Predictive brain has been formalized through Bayesian updating, where top-down…

Almost all neural computations involve making predictions. Whether an organism is trying to catch prey, avoid predators, or simply move through a complex environment, the data it collects through its senses can guide its actions only to the extent that it can extract from these data information about the future state…

'Rajesh P. N. Rao' 'Jochen Triesch' 'Alexander G. Ororbia'] In this article, we review a class of neuro-mimetic computational models that we place under the label of spiking predictive coding. Specifically, we review the general framework of predictive processing in the context of neurons that emit discrete action…

Anticipation is a hallmark of all living phenomena, from bacteria to humans. If I notice a cloudy sky, I may take an umbrella to avoid getting wet. In cyanobacteria, which are photosynthetic bacteria, the chromosome decompacts shortly before dawn thanks to circadian rhythms, so that gene expression is favored when it…

A longstanding question in cognitive science is whether the human brain learns sensory regularities that are irrelevant to ongoing behavior, a phenomenon known as incidental associative learning. Here, we provide evidence at the single subject level that humans indeed acquired such incidental associations and reveal…

“this again raises questions about the eventual spread of explanatory weight between the framework on offer and any additional resources that may be required to determine the nature and shape of the hyperpriors that shape the processing and experience of evolved life-forms.” (25 ms). In conclusion, the potential…

In our research journey, we undertook a comprehensive exploration of protein-protein interaction (PPI) prediction, with a primary focus on unraveling the intricate web of interactions involving the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Our research endeavor encompassed a multi-faceted approach that seamlessly integrated data…

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) are two important targets in current drug discovery, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the MERS-CoV outbreaks in recent years. An important target of both SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV is the main…

Predicting and monitoring battery life early and across chemistries is a significant challenge due to the plethora of degradation paths, form factors, and electrochemical testing protocols. Existing models typically translate poorly across different electrode, electrolyte, and additive materials, mostly require a fixed…

Clinical trials are crucial for drug development, but they require significant time and financial resources. Additionally, uncertainties may arise during these trials concerning their results due to concerns surrounding effectiveness, safety, or the enrollment of participants. If robust AI (artificial intelligence)…
