Theory of Mind: A Neural Prediction Problem (2013, positive): “, orientation and contrast at specific points in retinotopy) should error signals be observed at lower levels of processing (Alink et al., 2010; e.g., Murray et al., 2002; Weiner et al., 2010).”
Attention Reverses the Effect of Prediction in Silencing Sensory Signals (2011, unknown): “These models account for several extraclassical receptive field effects (Rao and Ballard 1999; Spratling 2010) and are in line with empirical findings that predicted stimuli evoke reduced neural responses (Alink et al. 2010; den Ouden et al. 2010; Todorovic et al. 2011).”
How Do Expectations Shape Perception? (2018, background): “Such studies showed for instance that expectation suppression in macaque IT was associated with decreased decoding performance [66]; that BOLD responses in posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) to expected words were weaker and contained less information, as quanti ﬁ ed by representational simil”

Expectation and Surprise Determine Neural Population Responses in the Ventral Visual Stream (2010, background): “…that some portion of population activity in visual cortices can be attributed to prediction error signals, in general support of predictive coding models (Murray et al., 2002, 2003; Summerfield et al., 2006, 2008; Summerfield and Koechlin, 2008; den Ouden et al., 2009, 2010; Alink et al., 2010).”
Less Is More: Expectation Sharpens Representations in the Primary Visual Cortex (2012, unknown): “If, on the other hand, the expectation is violated, a large prediction error will ensue, leading to an increase in neural activity (Alink et al., 2010; den Ouden et al., 2009; Kok et al., 2011; Meyer and Olson, 2011; Todorovic et al., 2011).”
How Prediction Errors Shape Perception, Attention, and Motivation (2012, background): “Functionally, it has been shown that processing in even the earliest stages of the cortical hierarchy is affected by prior expectations (den Ouden et al., 2009; Alink et al., 2010; Todorovic et al., 2011; Kok et al., 2012a).”
Predictive Coding and the Neural Response to Predictable Stimuli (2010, background): “Viewed in parallel, Alink et al. (2010) and den Ouden et al. (2010) provide evidence that across different time scales, experimental contexts, and levels of the visual hierarchy, the brain is not only highly sensitive to predictability, but that this predictability can lead to a reduction of…”
