Thesis
Investigating predictive coding as a principle of function in sensory systems
- Abstract:
-
According to the theory of predictive coding, the brain does not generate sensations simply by ’sponging up’ bottom-up information arriving from the senses. Instead, cortical circuits are fundamentally wired to actively make predictions on the basis of experience, communicate these in a top-down fashion to areas with access to less global information, and prop- agate the residual errors that ensue when predictions are compared with reality (Friston, 2005). As these error signals feed forwa...
