The mismatch negativity (MMN) component of the human event-related potential (ERP) is
frequently interpreted as a sensory prediction-error signal. However, there is ambiguity …

The neural mechanisms underlying novelty detection are not well understood, especially in
relation to behavior. Here, we present single-unit responses from the primary auditory cortex …

Auditory sensory processing is assumed to occur in a hierarchical structure including the
primary auditory cortex (A1), superior temporal gyrus, and frontal areas. These areas are …

Recent computational models of perception conceptualize auditory oddball responses as
signatures of a (Bayesian) learning process, in line with the influential view of the mismatch …

Surprising events trigger measurable brain activity and influence human behavior by
affecting learning, memory, and decision-making. Currently there is, however, no consensus …

According to predictive processing theories of perception, the brain generates predictions to
prepare for sensory input, and calibrates certainty of predictions based on their likelihood …

The brain is increasingly viewed as a statistical learning machine, where our sensations and
decisions arise from the intricate interplay between bottom-up sensory signals and …

Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which
they learn how the world around them works, eg, that glass shatters when dropped, but a …

The human brain has a remarkable ability to generate predictions about what comes next,
allowing us to navigate through our complex and ever-changing world. Predictive …
