Check out these new insights into predictive coding algorithms!

#Preprint alert!

Ever wondered how well Predictive Coding can be implemented in Artificial Neural Nets? Do they really learn as the theory predicts?

In our new preprint with @auksz.bsky.social, we test two PC algorithms & find that not all behave as expected!

Visualization of the study outline: A. Different Network conditions with architecture and training objectives. B. Evaluation criteria used to asses proximity to Predictive Coding theory.

I'm super grateful to the conference and symposium organisers for inviting me to give a talk. It was an exciting opportunity, and I truly enjoyed sharing our work on predictions being represented in pre-stimulus alpha oscillations with such an engaged audience at MMN 2024. Yaaay!

My new preprint is out! Using EEG and decoding analyses, we find direct evidence for the Opposing Process Theory of perception, while showing dynamic effects across over time.

Ever wondered how your brain predicts what’s coming next when you listen to someone talk? Our new MEG study reveals how predictions of syllables/words and their timing are integrated in cortical networks www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
