@wiegerscheurer.bsky.social
PhD candidate at the Predictive Brain Lab, Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging / University of Amsterdam. I study predictive processing in natural perception using Neuro-AI.
Spoke at #CCN2025 about my work with @mheilbron.bsky.social on "A hierarchy of spatial predictions across human visual cortex during natural vision".

(Full preprint and recording coming soon)

New preprint, w/ @predictivebrain.bsky.social !

we've found that visual cortex, even when just viewing natural scenes, predicts *higher-level* visual features

The aligns with developments in ML, but challenges some assumptions about early sensory cortex

Higher-level spatial prediction in natural vision across mouse visual cortex
Theories of predictive processing propose that sensory systems constantly predict incoming signals, based on spatial and temporal context. However, evidence for prediction in sensory cortex largely co...

I am so happy—this is the first 1st author paper I have written, since the cancer diagnosis of my late wife seven years ago.
