Prediction error processing and sharpening of expected information

Prediction error processing and sharpening of expected information

Scientific Report Background Introduction Perception and neuronal processing of sensory information are largely influenced by prior expectations. Perception is not merely passive reception, but an active inferential process by combining existing sensory information with prior information based on past experience and current context. The combination...

Revealing the Mechanisms of Semantic Satiation with Deep Learning Models

Revealing the Mechanisms of Semantic Satiation with Deep Learning Models

Deep Learning Model Reveals Mechanisms of Semantic Satiation Semantic satiation, the phenomenon where a word or phrase loses its meaning after being repeated many times, is a well-known psychological phenomenon. However, the micro-neural computational principles underlying this mechanism remain unknown. This paper uses a continuous coupled neural n...

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans

Electrophysiological Signatures of Veridical Head Direction in Humans Navigation is one of the core components of human complex cognition, where head direction information is crucial for positioning oneself in space. However, due to the requirement of having the head fixed in a specific position during most neuroimaging experiments, understanding h...

Ventral Subiculum Promotes Wakefulness Through Several Pathways in Male Mice

The Ventral Subiculum Promotes Wakefulness Through Multiple Pathways in Male Mice Background The ventral subiculum (vsub) is a major output region of the hippocampus, playing a crucial role in motivation, stress integration, and anxiety-like behavior, all of which depend on a high state of wakefulness. However, the role of vsub in wakefulness and i...
