In the cognitive and neural sciences, the brain is widely viewed as a predictive system. On this view, the brain conceives the world by comparing sensory inputs to internally generated models of what the world should look like. Despite this emphasis on internal models, their key properties are not well understood. We currently do not know what exactly is contained in our internal models and how these contents vary systematically across individuals. In the absence of suitable methods for assessing the contents of internal models, the predictive brain has essentially remained a black box. Here, we develop a novel approach for opening this black box. Focusing on natural vision, we will use…
