Clark has recently suggested that predictive processing advances a theory of neural function with the resources to put an ecumenical end to the “representation wars” of recent cognitive science. In this paper I defend and develop this suggestion. First, I broaden the representation wars to include three foundational…

This article is a comparative study between predictive processing (PP, or predictive coding) and cognitive dissonance (CD) theory. The theory of CD, one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology, is shown to be highly compatible with recent developments in PP. This is particularly…

We propose a pluralist account of content for predictive processing systems. Our pluralism combines Millikan’s teleosemantics with existing structural resemblance accounts. The paper has two goals. First, we outline how a teleosemantic treatment of signal passing in predictive processing systems would work, and how it…

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is an effective treatment for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Adaptive Information Processing Model (AIP) guides the development and practice of EMDR. The AIP postulates inadequately processed memory as the foundation of PTSD pathology. Predictive…

A recently popular framework in the cognitive sciences takes the human nervous system to be a hierarchically arranged Bayesian prediction machine. In this paper, we examine psychological trauma through the lens of this framework. We suggest that this can help us to understand the nature of trauma, and the different…

The objective of this article was to review existing research to assess the evidence for predictive processing (PP) in sign language, the conditions under which it occurs, and the effects of language mastery (sign language as a first language, sign language as a second language, bimodal bilingualism) on the neural…

The world is a noisy place, and people must decide which inputs are meaningful, which are uninformative, and how to use incoming information to optimize their behavior in different contexts. It has been argued that rather than passively processing incoming information, we use past experience to form predictions about…

Despite the recent popularity of predictive processing models of brain function, the term prediction is often instantiated very differently across studies. These differences in definition can substantially change the type of cognitive or neural operation hypothesised and thus have critical implications for the…

Predictive processing (PP) accounts often characterize mental illness as maladaptive and epistemically distorting due to mismatches between brain-generated top-down models and bottom-up sensory inputs, with this review identifying exceptions. First, hypervigilance in trauma survivors with PTSD or depression may sustain…

Generating predictions for task-relevant goals is a fundamental requirement of human information processing, as it ensures adaptive success in our complex natural environment. Clark ([4]) proposed a model of hierarchical predictive processing, in which perception, attention, and learning are unified within a coherent…

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…

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…

'Georgia Theodoropoulou' 'Georgios Miaoulis' 'Djamchid Ghazanfarpour' 'Alberto Cano' 'Sylvio Barbon Junior'] The analysis of business processes based on their observed behavior recorded in event logs can be performed with process mining. This method can discover, monitor, and improve processes in various application…

'Luke Haseler' 'Toby Jeffcote' 'Andrew Udy' 'Rinaldo Bellomo' 'Melinda Fitzgerald'] Traumatic intracranial hypertension (tIH) is a common and potentially lethal complication of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (m-sTBI). It often develops with little warning and is managed reactively with the tiered application…

The use of automated sensors has grown rapidly in recent years, with sensor data now routinely used for monitoring in a wide range of situations, including human health and behaviour, the environment, wildlife, and agriculture. Livestock farming is a key area of application, and our primary focus here, but the issues…
