Abstract:Expectations can substantially influence perception. Predictive coding is a theory of sensory processing that aims to explain the neural mechanisms underlying the effect of expectations in sensory processing. Its main assumption is that sensory neurons encode prediction error with respect to expected sensory input. Neural populations encoding prediction error have been previously reported in the human auditory cortex (AC); however, most studies focused on the encoding of pure tones and induced expectations by … Show more
