This paper presents a review of theoretical and empirical work on repetition suppression in
the context of predictive coding. Predictive coding is a neurobiologically plausible scheme …

In this review, we attempt to integrate the empirical evidence regarding stimulus-specific
adaptation (SSA) and mismatch negativity (MMN) under a predictive coding perspective …

Spatial orientation and navigation rely on the acquisition of several types of sensory
information. This information is then transformed into a neural code for space in the …

Adaptation is an essential feature of auditory neurons, which reduces their responses to
unchanging and recurring sounds and allows their response properties to be matched to the …

This chapter outlines the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathways. After a brief
analysis of the external, middle ears, and cochlea, the responses of auditory nerve fibers are …

Reliably detecting unexpected sounds is important for environmental awareness and
survival. By selectively reducing responses to frequently, but not rarely, occurring sounds …

Prediction provides key advantages for survival, and cognitive studies have demonstrated
that the brain computes multilevel predictions. Evidence for predictions remains elusive at …

The early stages of the auditory system need to preserve the timing information of sounds in
order to extract the basic features of acoustic stimuli. At the same time, different processes of …

Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) is the specific decrease in the response to a frequent
('standard') stimulus, which does not generalize, or generalizes only partially, to another …
