Renewed interest in the use of psychedelics in the treatment of psychiatric disorders
warrants a better understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the effects of …

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 …

Western diets rich in fat and sugar promote excess calorie intake and weight gain; however,
the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Despite a well-documented association between …

The active inference framework, and in particular its recent formulation as a partially
observable Markov decision process (POMDP), has gained increasing popularity in recent …

We review a recent shift in conceptions of interoception and its relationship to hierarchical
inference in the brain. The notion of interoceptive inference means that bodily states are …

Insistence on sameness and intolerance of change are among the diagnostic criteria for
autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but little research has addressed how people with ASD …

Research on predictive processing models has focused largely on two specific algorithmic
theories: Predictive Coding for perception and Active Inference for decision-making. While …

Psychology and neuroscience are concerned with the study of behavior, of internal cognitive
processes, and their neural foundations. However, most laboratory studies use constrained …

Most elementary behaviors such as moving the arm to grasp an object or walking into the
next room to explore a museum evolve on the time scale of seconds; in contrast, neuronal …

Evoked potentials provide valuable insight into brain processes that are integral to our ability
to interact effectively and efficiently in the world. The mismatch negativity (MMN) component …
