Prior expectations still shape activity in the sensory brain - even when the world tells us our predictions won't come true. Pleased to see this paper just accepted at Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. w/ Emily Thomas Sam Gilbert @flodlan @PeterKokNeuro & Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social psyarxiv.com/ndufg/

Announcing new paper from our lab led by Yuan-hao Wu : elifesciences.org/articles/84797 In this study, we combine 7T fMRI and MEG to investigate the spatiotemporal evolution of neural dynamics and its representational format during conscious visual recognition in a challenging visual task.

New episode is out now! #climateanxiety #ClimateCrisis

I will present Emily Thomas's (also @PeterKokNeuro, @joosthaarsma, Daniel Yon; Thurs 5:30-6:30) 7T-MRI study comparing prediction & error representations across V1 layers, distinguishing different versions of predictive processing account. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. [2/9]

This is published now as journal article: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.… Congratulations Emily Thomas, @PeterKokNeuro, Clare Press @clarepress.bsky.social et al. There is also a commentary that comes along with it: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…
