Active Inference and the Circuits of Precision and Prediction
The human brain exhibits remarkable cognitive abilities, such as imagery, attention and mental simulation, which along with perception reflect our capacity to infer properties of the world. Perceptual inference involves a statistical hierarchical synthesis of information from the senses with prior knowledge of the world. There is empirical evidence in favour of Predictive Processing where functional interaction of descending pathways carrying top-down prediction and precision signals interaction with the ascending pathways to generative prediction errors. PREDICTION will develop a mechanistic and computational understanding of the hierarchical processing underlying inference in…
