The dynamic predictive coding paper is finally out in PLOS Comp Bio! It has been a very long journey with maximal-variance feedback 😂 but I'm very excited to see all the results come together as a whole! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a…

Congratulations to Larry Abbott, Terry Terrence Sejnowski and Haim Haim Sompolinsky on winning the Brain Prize!

New paper in Nature Communications Nature Communications on how the brain makes decisions in uncertain social settings (with Jean-Claude Dreher, Daeyeol Lee, and other collaborators) #brain #fMRI nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to announce that Nature Neuroscience Nature Neuroscience has published my article "A sensory-motor theory of the neocortex" (based on active predictive coding). #Neuroscience #AI #brain PDF: homes.cs.washington.edu/~rao/Rao-Natur… Article page: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton on the Nobel prize! Great recognition for neural networks and their impact on AI, science and society!

25 yrs ago, perception dominated neuroscience, and Raj's Rajesh P. N. Rao predictive coding theory. Now, it's all about action-perception loops across the hierarchy... "active predictive coding." Also, augmenting our cognition with AI neural co-processors! braininspired.co/podcast/201/

Episode 201 of the Brain Inspired podcast, featuring my conversation with Paul Middlebrooks Paul Middlebrooks on classical predictive coding, active predictive coding, brain co-processors and the Indus script, is now out. #brain #Neuroscience braininspired.co/podcast/201/

Interesting article on the 4500-year-old undeciphered Indus script (I am quoted in a couple of places in the article): bbc.com/news/articles/…

Some new thought-provoking results in this preprint by my student Preston Jiang Linxing Preston Jiang and collaborators indicating that the scaling law seen in large language models (more data is better) MAY NOT apply to neural foundation models! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
