Predictive Codes for Forthcoming Perception in the Frontal Cortex |
Reviews
[Write a review of this article]
Notes for this articleTheories of "Predictive coding" attempt to explain recognition of objects/events from ambiguous sensory information. This paper demonstrates that temporal lobe is one site in which possible predicted events are represented (like templates of faces). Will be interesting to see in future papers whether other classes of stimuli have their own, dedicated template regions.

AbstractIncoming sensory information is often ambiguous, and the brain has to make decisions during perception. "Predictive coding" proposes that the brain resolves perceptual ambiguity by anticipating the forthcoming sensory environment, generating a template against which to match observed sensory evidence. We observed a neural representation of predicted perception in the medial frontal cortex, while human subjects decided whether visual objects were faces or not. Moreover, perceptual decisions about faces were associated with an increase in top-down connectivity from the frontal cortex to face-sensitive visual areas, consistent with the matching of predicted and observed evidence for the presence of faces. 10.1126/science.1132028
