@sulfaro.bsky.social literally what we were just talking about!

Throw hands and then give hug. Good on ya, Will!

5. Today I read a paper by @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social and Alexander Mussgnug that I think illustrates this point perfectly.

Thanks @bealebrains.bsky.social!

FYI I've published similar results previously :)

I think a lot of people studying neural expectation have been skeptical of literal interpretations of PC for a while now. Again, this is not same as saying the brain doesn’t integrate prior knowledge with sensory input when resolving precepts.

I’m excited to see where the field goes next :)

IMO (now that this canned of worms has been opened), I think the field would really benefit from moving away from evoked responses and towards pre-stimulus and/or state-based activity characterising how predictions themselves are signalled (rather their errors!)

The envelope has been pushed forward and now we can think about what these data mean within the broader literature. It’s exciting!
