Predictive coding: a more cognitive process than we thought? - PMC
In predictive coding (PC), higher-order brain areas generate predictions that are sent to lower-order sensory areas. Top-down predictions are compared to bottom-up sensory data, and mismatches evoke prediction errors. In PC, the prediction errors ...
