Cortical responses to stimuli vary dependingon context and expectation. Adding insight into
this process, Furutachi et al. recently demonstrated that higher-order thalamic input to visual …

Predictive processing models posit that brains constantly attempt to predict their sensory
inputs. Prediction errors signal when these predictions are incorrect and are thought to be …

Vocal communication depends on distinguishing self-generated vocalizations from other
sounds. Vocal motor corollary discharge (CD) signals are thought to support this ability by …

During behavior, the motor cortex sends copies of motor-related signals to sensory cortices.
Here, we combine closed-loop behavior with large-scale physiology, projection-pattern …

Linking sensory input and its consequences is a fundamental brain operation. During
behavior, the neural activity of neocortical and limbic systems often reflects dynamic …

Distinguishing faces requires well distinguishable neural activity patterns. Contextual
information may separate neural representations, leading to enhanced identity recognition …

Efficient sensory detection requires the capacity to ignore task-irrelevant information, for
example when optic flow patterns created by egomotion need to be disentangled from object …

The ability to recognize ordered event sequences is a fundamental component of sensory
cognition and underlies the capacity to generate temporally specific expectations of future …

Recent theories describe perception as an inferential process based on internal predictive
models that are adjusted by prediction violations (prediction error). Two different …

Neural circuits construct internal 'world-models' to guide behavior. The predictive processing
framework posits that neural activity signaling sensory predictions and concurrently …
