Perception and perceptual decision-making are strongly facilitated by prior knowledge about
the probabilistic structure of the world. While the computational benefits of using prior …

Rhythms are a fundamental and defining feature of neuronal activity in animals including
humans. This rhythmic brain activity interacts in complex ways with rhythms in the internal …

For many years, the dominant theoretical framework guiding research into the neural origins
of perceptual experience has been provided by hierarchical feedforward models, in which …

Epidemiological studies identify midlife hearing loss as an independent risk factor for
dementia, estimated to account for 9% of cases. We evaluate candidate brain bases for this …

Predictive coding is possibly one of the most influential, comprehensive, and controversial
theories of neural function. While proponents praise its explanatory potential, critics object …

The association between hearing impairment and dementia has emerged as a major public
health challenge, with significant opportunities for earlier diagnosis, treatment and …

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

Predictive coding theories propose that the brain constantly updates internal models to
minimize prediction errors and optimize sensory processing. However, the neural …

The hippocampus has a well-established role in spatial and episodic memory but a broader
function has been proposed including aspects of perception and relational processing …

Working memory capacity can be improved by recoding the memorized information in a
condensed form. Here, we tested the theory that human adults encode binary sequences of …
