UNIGE scientists developed a neuro-computer model which helps explain how the brain identifies syllables in natural speech. The model uses the equivalent of neuronal oscillations produced by brain ...

A popular theory in neuroscience called predictive coding proposes that the brain produces all the time expectations that are compared with incoming information. Errors arising from differences ...

The human brain is proposed to harbor a hierarchical predictive coding neuronal network underlying perception, cognition, and action. In support of this theory ...

Neural resonance theory proposes that music is not a mental image of the sounds we hear but actual physical vibrations ...

In this post, the last of a five-part series, we will acquire an understanding of various theories that emphasize the importance of top-down signaling in shaping and enabling conscious perception.

Predictive coding theory suggests that prior knowledge is crucial for optimizing human decision-making. However, how cortical dynamics implement this integration remains unclear. Here, we employ a ...

Our brains make sense of the world by predicting what we will see and then updating these predictions as the situation demands, according to Lars Muckli, professor of neuroscience at the Centre for ...
