Fueled by developments in computational neuroscience, there has been increasing interest
in the underlying neurocomputational mechanisms of psychosis. One successful approach …

Hallucinations, perceptions in the absence of objectively identifiable stimuli, illustrate the
constructive nature of perception. Here, we highlight the role of prior beliefs as a critical …

Background: Seed-based studies on resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) in
schizophrenia have shown disrupted connectivity involving a number of brain networks; …

The brain is a predictive machine. Converging data suggests a diametric predictive strategy
from autism spectrum disorders (ASD) to schizophrenic spectrum disorders (SSD). Whereas …

That trauma can play a significant role in the onset and maintenance of voice-hearing is one
of the most striking and important developments in the recent study of psychosis. Yet the …

Background Recent advances in computational psychiatry have identified latent cognitive
and perceptual states that predispose to psychotic symptoms. Behavioral data fit to Bayesian …

Hearing a voice in the absence of any speaker can be a significant feature of psychiatric
illness, but is also increasingly acknowledged as an important aspect of everyday, non …

Perceptual inference depends on an optimal integration of current sensory evidence with
prior beliefs about the environment. Alterations of this process have been related to the …

Psychotic symptoms, ie, hallucinations and delusions, involve gross departures from
conscious apprehension of consensual reality; respectively, perceiving and believing things …

Could meaning be read from acoustics, or from the refraction rate of pyramidal cells
innervated by the cochlea, everyone would be an omniglot. Speech does not contain …
