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…

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…

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…
